The idea is to not associate a specific nation's flag with a specific language. When thought about, this should be obvious -- people don't have to fly a certain flag to speak (or translate into) a language. When I saw Dimitris used a flag icon on http://translate.fedoraproject.org, I thought about bringing that up. I figured he used a stock icon to convey the idea. The more I think about it, the more I realize it doesn't really work. Even the flags used in the current icon are potentially contentious to any number of millions of people around the world. We should leave the flags to the nation states, and think up a new icon. Time for an Art Team icon request? - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
