<P><FONT SIZE=2>I would keep the words with the icons, but that is my personal preference. There are also icons in Nature Protocols (for example <A HREF="http://www.nature.com/nprot/journal/v3/n1/full/nprot.2007.473.html">http://www.nature.com/nprot/journal/v3/n1/full/nprot.2007.473.html</A>) as inspiration. However, I like Jakobs icons much better.<BR>

<BR>
I'm a total sucker for great looking graphics created to meet specific<BR>
purposes. I like the idea a lot. Your icons are fantastic.<BR>
<BR>
Let's assume we were to use them. Would you think other people (i.e., not<BR>
the original authors of the protocols) go through and add the icons? There<BR>
are a lot of existing protocols already on OWW; it would be nice to think<BR>
about how this could be applied to them.<BR>
<BR>
If anyone were to do that, there may be a few other things we could to<BR>
simply annotate protocols.<BR>
<BR>
Making them small fits in with the way our current sidebar icons work. What<BR>
do you think of using the icons without the words until someone either<BR>
hovered on them or asked what they meant? Maybe a key to their meaning would<BR>
also work.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for the great work.<BR>
