Is there a large collection of icons for any of these tools for things like network diagrams? Also, has anyone come up with a scheme to easily make diagrams visible on a wiki so the viewer doesn't need the corresponding program? Normally this requires exporting to an image format and attaching the image to the wiki page - then you also have to attach the diagram source so someone can download to make changes and repeat the process. Is there any way to make the process more transparent, like having the wiki server render the image on the fly? -- Les Mikesell les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
