What we need next is a .zip of the icons (guess 24*24 or 32*32 pixel would be fine) and a list of the terms they represent - this would most likely be the tooltip appearing when mouse is hoovered.

And actually there used to be a time where data storage was done in big shiny metal containers, just as you can still see them on the icon... ;) > > Would be happy to see you there :) - I will definitely need help on this > > journey :) > > I have registered now, so you could now add me to the team. I have added you to the team, so you can now change things in the project. I have also started to create the icontest study - it is called '1207 Icontest'. The icons are still missing (either you send me the icons and terms - or you simply add them yourself). The study is a first suggestion and of course is subject to discussion. I have added a simple demographic questionnaire, so we can see what kind of users we reach.
