The icons used are from Fedora itself and GPL'd; I think a notice to that effect in the &LEGALNOTICE; would take care of this part. I personally don't like all the different color bars, but I think the terminal icon is cute. I also think that in the service of consistency, we should try and limit artwork to that already available in Fedora -- or, at worst, request that Garrett or one of his trusty cohort produce something consistent for us. Keep in mind also the a11y factors. The current HTML rendering provides full functionality for text-based browsers, text-to-speech engines, and so forth, with a minimum of effort. Certainly the transformations could be done to take care of this -- at least to provide <img alt=""> tags and such, but we'd have to look at the possible impact on visually impaired users, etc. I don't doubt that there's ways around any impediments, but it's not a project I'm personally interested in. Then again, that's the great thing about having a community; someone else likely is! :-) It's early and I haven't had my coffee, so I hope this makes some sense. -- Paul W. Frields, RHCE
