If at some point in the future more special Needs version of modules are
introduced into horde, the ICON management of these modules will have to be
made very easy.

Ansel would be ideal for the organising of an individuals personal *ICONS,
but would not be ideal for serving the ICONS as icons are served at the
moment by other modules. Normally they are static files on the server.

The ideal would be that the people looking after the client, Speech and
Language Therapists, Lecturers and Personal key workers etc, would be able
to use ANSEL to store the Photos/icons.

Maybe there could be a SPECIAL gallery and each image can have a link to
what it will be used for, (Animated gif of a someon licking an envelope =
SEND Email).

Then when the memeber of staff setting up the icons is happy, they could
click a Use/Update Symbols button that would then tell horde to save the
images from the gallery into/onto the static files FOR that user. I am not
worried how/best way to do that VFS etc, you guys will know best, but
obviously for ease of updating the framework packages, they would need to be
stored on a per user basis and maybe under a special needs framework?


* ICONS: are any image that has meaning to a person, could be a photo or a
macerton symbol or any image.
