[OWW-Discuss] protocol icons

[Torsten Waldminghaus]

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

I'm a total sucker for great looking graphics created to meet specific
purposes. I like the idea a lot. Your icons are fantastic.

Let's assume we were to use them. Would you think other people (i.e., not
the original authors of the protocols) go through and add the icons? There
are a lot of existing protocols already on OWW; it would be nice to think
about how this could be applied to them.

If anyone were to do that, there may be a few other things we could to
simply annotate protocols.

Making them small fits in with the way our current sidebar icons work. What
do you think of using the icons without the words until someone either
hovered on them or asked what they meant? Maybe a key to their meaning would
also work.


Thanks for the great work.

Bill
