Well, tomorrow already passed, sorry! There was some unexpected private
stuff that heavily "disturbed" the work on LibO. Grrr.

This mail is about the MIME type icons - but this time, I don't want to
share another draft, I'd rather like to summarize the current status of
the discussion.

Thus, I created a page below my user page and tried to collect the
drafts, statements, requirements, discussion, ... If there is anything
missing, please don't hesitate to make heavy use of it (add, move, ...).

One thing you might notice is another proposal "Rework ODF icons Set".
You might agree that the ODF icons are a complete set that are visually
pleasing - the main "problem" is the missing distinctiveness when it
comes to the different file types. Since they are very similar (the gray
shades) to the LibreOffice branding, they may serve as a starting point
for an initial set.

Thus, I picked some of the available PNGs and tweaked them - adding
colored badges (e.g. Yellow ODG for Draw, Blue ODT for Writer), and also
added the same color to the objects within the icons (very subtle).
Personally, I think it would serve as a great interim solution - but at
the moment I'm uncertain about the license. Therefore I hesitate to
share them, until this is clarified.

Okay, but - at the moment - you might be more interested in the page
I've already mentioned:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:ChristophNoack/Initial_MIME_Icons

Ivan, Bernhard, Thorsten, ... please join!

Oh, there is one thing left. It seems that things at work are getting a
bit crazy (workload, unexpected business trip); along with some private
stuff (still finalizing our move...), it is unlikely that I will be able
to participate in any discussion from Wednesday to Monday :-(

Cheers,
Christoph
