I agree with regards to a universal contextual help icon. What about a question mark? That seems to be pretty much universal.

>>>>Cool. Overall CMS related communication

takes place on the CMS and JBS lists .   So I'm glad you've
now made your first (I think ) foray into the world where your
 work will be scrutinized, pushed in directions you never
thought about, and in general given a workout like it never has had.
It's really important that the people who will in the end have
responsibility for long term maintenance get to know the code. 
 Probably you will want to listen for feed back on the general
list too since the admin templates has big implications for the
independent developer community and of course anything that touches
core outputs.  Most important I think is to get something into
the feature tracker with a link to your repo so people can try it out
and start giving feedback and even patches. Make sure to subscribe to
the issue report with the work since that way you will get email with
each comment.

will do testing in all kinds of settings including every language and
every kind of assistive device you can think of.

>>>>Of course there are months to go and no

one expects that what you have now is ready for prime time, but early
feed back is way better than later feed back so let's go for
it.

site that goes to 3.0 but to offer them great new features too. So the
sooner we have things to  test the sooner we can start coding and
testing out things like how do we offer an upgrading user the option
to switch templates.

I have seen this, Kyle. Nice.
As I already told you, I do not Tweet.
I am keeping an eye on your branch. at least for the Usability issues.

The fixed-width fields and columns is still a big issue, as I
demonstrated to you the other day. As well as the left menu stealing
our real-estate.

BTW: one can't install sample data with your branch

I thought in spanish there was the upside down one before the question, and the regular one after?
    I may be mistaken, spanish class was 20 years ago.
However, you are correct that it is not used in other languages. Having said that, I still think it should be recognizable by most people as a symbol for a question or help.
    This bears thinking upon...

Unlike question marks or life preservers a Red Cross has been a universal

@Brian,

I'm afraid your knowledge of Joomla! far exceeds you understanding of the
ICRC. It would have saved both of us some time if you had simply researched
you reply prior to dismissing my suggestion.

The ICRC is part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement
and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies so
that is not it's proper name.  To quote Wikipedia "The ICRC is the oldest
and most honored organization within the IRC and one of the most widely
recognized organizations in the world, having won three Nobel Peace Prizes
in 1917, 1944, and 1963."

I agree you are correct that adding a crescent might make it more universal
but the Red Cross is a universal international symbol and has been since
the 1950's. The Red Cross is recognized by all the signers of the Geneva
Coventions. See this page on the site you referenced
http://www.icrc.org/ihl.nsf/WebSign?ReadForm&id=375&ps=P which is a pretty
exhaustive list of the countries of the world. The Red Cross is
specifically named in article 9.

So can we agree the cross/crescent symbol would be completely universal?

I'm not into arguing or pettiness. the fact is that the red cross is not a
global symbol that would be immediately recognised by everyone in the world
to mean help and assistance which is the whole point of the original
suggestion. I certainly would not recommend adding a crescent ot the cross
to make a universal symbol - if nothing else both of those marks are very
protected symbols and can not be abused

Ok let's forget about the Red Cross/Red Crescent and just take a look at

I'm sure Kyle doesn't mind me making suggestions and can speak for himself

Terry,

It's totally fine to make suggestions, what I am suggesting is that we not
get into a flame war about it and the related political and religious
issues or the different uses of these symbols. I, at least, would be
thankful if we do not go down that path.  I also would consider it helpful
if discussions did not include personal comments.

So now we know why people invented the life preserver icon .. it doesn't
use a ? or i and doesn't have religious connotations.

Of course we could use this one ...

Thanks Paulo... What you and others say about space being cramped makes perfect sense..... I concede my opinion :)
I do like your mention of 'breadcrumbs' and that's brought to mind that perhaps we could have 'site title / page title' breadcrumbs in the header, with the titles formatted as typical breadcrumbs might be?......

I'm still hung up on having a large logo/site title with what looks like another large heading in the page title just floating there next to it......

I agree with JM, the life-saver icon depicts "help" in the non-medical
sense of the word, more so than the Red Cross, in my region, at least, the
Red Cross is primarily used by Medical groups, meaning "Medical Aid" I
don't think it would directly convey the type of "Help" or "assistance"
that we would be conveying to users.
