[Wikipedia-l] Suggestions #4

// Suggestion #4:  Avatar Evil Suggestion 

 I like the actual look & feel of Wikipedia. But.. Can be improved with
icons views of data. You can visually pack more info with icons, helping
people sorting and finding information.

 Icons view of older versions of files. 
 Icon for Talk
 Icon for users edit this page ( with avatars? )

I suggest this looks and feel:
  - windows 95 big icons view
  - winjabber buddylist view
  - etc..

prefer the current system, where you can go in and choose the best bits of
each to save.  I don't foresee software being that sophisticated within our
lifetimes.  maybe you have some ideas about it.
