- YES based on the poll: The chalk icon gets the highest votes.
- I feel like a yes, Yes, YES for
(for normal edit button) and 
(for sectional edit button). I am OK with green version 
, but it does not "stick into the face" as much. Design considerations:
- 1. Chalk conveys classroom, e.g. collaboration.
- 2. Orange sticks out (the edit button is the most important element on a wiki page).
- 3. There is a concern that the chalk could be mistaken for a band-aid or a stapler. The icon is tweaked to make it more clear. In the initial phase, the icon can be combined with text "edit" (as done in this template).
- 4. Looks good side by side with the RSS icon:
- Side-note 1: I find the current layout of this page not very usable/readable on a 1024 laptop screen. I do not know enough of MediaWiki syntax to put the "Not yet" and "Yes" into the main page text.
- Side-note 2: IMHO the current decision making process does not work. I suggest a voting process: Every person gives a -3 (no way) ... 0 (neutral) ... 3 (yes, that's it!) to each proposed icon, then we have an informed discussion and make a decision.
