Yep. Vaguely stated at best. > The icons I requested aren't even related to the website itself... Right, was targeting the "collect ideas and get new proposal" statement which is dangerously close to "let's throw away what they gave us and try again". No one ever said that, just making sure we don't start a "bikeshed" pattern[1]. Probably the best way to phrase it: We can paint the bikeshed as many times as we want The fallacy of the bikeshed metaphore is that somehow everyone needs to agree on a color before you can paint the bikeshed. When in reality its a simple task and you can just paint the bikeshed and keep repainting it for as long as it takes. -David [1] http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bikeshed > > Cheers > Daniel > > On Sat, Oct 1, 2011 at 10:54 PM, David Blevins <[email protected]> > wrote: >> FYI, to all.
