<div>agree with adam - altho i don't think
tomi is suggesting it be compulsory or even a standard thing. <br>
<br>
if you created such graphics for manuals that you're working on
& then offered them for the wider use of the community, i
don't see a problem with that. (i've previously suggested that
there could be a repository of style sheets for use with manuals,
so such graphics could be part of that - a library of CC content
available if people want to use it).<br>

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
</div>
I had this idea some time ago, but I cannot
remember if I mentioned it on the list.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>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.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
Since the next Finnish manual will be partially
for schoolchildren, it would be cool if FM had a
mascot. <br>
<br>
</div>
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. <br>
<br>
</div>
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.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Although I don't know who would create graphics
for a character like, with different versions for
warnings, notes and advice.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Thinking about it, an Orangutan would have a
color scheme that would fit FM orange nicely. <br>
</div>
