Comments

The icons work nicely.

Some remarks and ideas:

• "Log out as admin" - Yes it is confusing to have this in a menu. I would expect this at the log in/out position in the meta nav.
• FAQs: a booklet icon?
• Getting started: or
• "Copy this topic" uses the same icon as "conpare", so a green plus could be added
• "Set parent" - perhaps the same icon as "View child pages " with a colored parent could be used
• The trash icon is not that clear

If the Admin menu is only present when user is logged in as an admin, then it probably makes sense to have a logout within that menu. And if the user is in the AdminGroup and logout is not applicable, then gray it out.

Mmmm, ok, this makes me think that Michael is right, lets AddFamFamFamContribToCore. I've almost finished a replacement for DocumentGraphics which we can use for compatibility, and then we can use the rest in our new image..

Don't forget that FamFamFamContrib conatins the 2 companions to the FamFamFam? Silk set...

• combine book and help (slightly reduced).. to make FAQ:
  

• make clock into a 'bullet' of 10x10 and then add to page_white:
  

• combine page_white_code with bullet_edit...:
  

wrt Sandbox web - I like the football, so there

The problem with the other icons proposed for Sandbox is that one looks like dog dirt and the others are close to impossible to recognize

-- CarloSchulz - 15 Dec 2009

Icon for Sandbox:

(associations: play, experiment, game, no control)

(assoc: sand, beach, fun ... argh at small size -> dragon eye)

Btw. can we exchange the order of "View" and "Edit" like shown in this wireframe ? Edit is somewhat more important to a wiki.

-- MichaelDaum - 15 Dec 2009

sure, will update with the next draft...

-- CarloSchulz - 15 Dec 2009

View perhaps can be moved to the far right.

-- ArthurClemens - 15 Dec 2009

Sandbox - maybe something like this?:

-- DanielKownacki - 21 Dec 2009

The problem with "Sandbox" is that it does not translate. For instance, as a Dutch user I don't immediately understand sandbox as a place to try out - I would call it playing ground. For me the football makes perfect sense.
