I just think it doesn't really apply to the language list (that How it doesn't apply? See the examples: http://languageicon.org/examples.php > should be fully expanded), but rather to "Discussion", "Edit", etc There is an uviversal edit button: http://universaleditbutton.org/ > Some universal symbols: > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recycling_symbol... The language icon was inspired by those icons: Feed icon: http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/feed-icon-guidelines/ Share icon: www.openshareicons.com/ Geotag icon: http://www.geotagicons.com/ OPML icon: http://opmlicons.com/ I think it's a good idea to use an icon for language. -- Fajro _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
