Discussion items

Shall we randomize the logo displayed on the Noisebridge Wiki (our primary website) rather than continuing in the general theme of the readily identifiable logo we've been using to date? If so:

How do we want to handle the NB logo on the wiki?

Notes from mailing list discussion

Randomizer function

• Need better randomizer function

Possible wiki configurations:

• Status quo (orig black and red circuit-like logo on all pages)
• Randomizer from pool on all pages
• Randomizer from pool on all internal pages, orig logo on index
• Some other variant of mixed logos, may require someone committing to code up the implementation

Possible pool handling:

• Public
• Public upload somewhere, added to pool by ops
• Public upload somewhere, some other approval method
