[FM Discuss] Mascot for FLOSS Manuals?

[Tomi Toivio]

Hi,

I had this idea some time ago, but I cannot remember if I mentioned it on
the list.

Can we have a mascot-like cartoon character for FLOSS Manuals? Somebody who
would offer all kinds of advice, warnings and notes in the manuals.

Since the next Finnish manual will be partially for schoolchildren, it
would be cool if FM had a mascot.

It/she/him would basically be something to replace all kinds of boring
warning and note signs. We could have the mascot look really worried when
it/she/he is giving a warning and gleefully happy when it/she/he is
offering advice.

What do you think? I was planning to use something like this in the Dream
School manual anyhow, if it is not useful more generally.

Although I don't know who would create graphics for a character like, with
different versions for warnings, notes and advice.

Thinking about it, an Orangutan would have a color scheme that would fit FM
orange nicely.

Regards
Tomi
