You bring up good points about being clear as to what the icon does. It would appear that the icons would be available only from the documentation blog. That should let the user know the icons link to the documentation blog only. The requirements are for two images, one a cover image and one that as described, sounds like a splash screen. I quote from the wordpress.com iPad OnSwype section of the settings for the documentation blog, * "Cover Logo -For best results use a 200×200px transparent PNG Launch Screen Image Readers can add your site to their iPad’s home screen for quick access from an app-like icon. The launch screen image is briefly displayed after your site is opened from an iPad home screen icon, before the cover image appears. Use a PNG exactly 768×1004px "* There is an option to use a cover image or not. (This would display a recent post from the blog) What do you think? Is this do-able? *John Shabanowitz http://libodocs.wordpress.com We're recruiting, come join us.* -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
