Bonobo: Add Animation To “Ladder”? (2016-05-11 02:40) [#10719]

Bonobo: Hey all, this is Tom in Germany, I’m a Deshi n00b … so there are a lot of questions that arise when I stumble over pages which I’d like to edit.

For example, today I procrastinated half a day, and instead of working, I created this little GIF animation which I’d like to add the Ladder page, right at the top, below the disambiguation box, because, as Laozi said: “An animation tells more than a thousand diagrams.” ;-) and I also believe that such things could make SL even more attractive to newbies.

BUT, on one hand I’m a little self-conscious as to how far I can go, what new things I may add, I’d hate to spoil anything for anybody; on the other hand I have an unhealthy tendency to perfkctionism; both together sometimes make me do nothing at all. Yet I’d like to do something here on SL, so … I’d like some feedback, please, from you experienced Deshis or Librarians … do you think this is too much “bling bling”?^[1] I rarely see images here, much less animations. Or would you welcome such additions?

Thanks in advance,

Tom
