- Hello Ofir,
-
- [OG>On another note - what about the "GEM List Compliant" logo idea? Maybe
- [OG>someone here is good at drawing icons... I think that we should have levels
- [OG>of compliance, for example:
- [OG>
- [OG>G1 - GEM List level 1 compatible - Follows the keyboard shortcut guide
- [OG>G2 - GEM List level 2 compatible - As above, but also supports the conf file
- [OG>
- [OG>This will allow developers a gradual change to the new standard.

- I like this idea; I have a further suggestion, though. How about making
- the icon selectable, and displaying some general information about the
- GEM-List standard when it is clicked on? For example, the program could
- bring up a dialog box with the following text (or some much better written
- text):
-
- "The GEM-List Standard was approved by a group of XXX developers, on
- XX/XX/XX. It embodies the..." [provide some interesting trivia about
- the GEM-List here).
-
- The main point of this idea is so that users find out a little more about
- the GEM-List and understand why the programmer chose to support it instead
- of the Atari standard. Good idea, bad idea?
