I am currently looking for a good looking icon for Jerboa. If you send me your icon and I think it looks good, I will include it in next version of Jerboa and put your name somewhere. Before you start drawing your icons read the following list.

• The icon should look good in both 32x32 and 16x16 modes. I recommend that you draw the icon in both modes separately but if yout don't, make at least sure that the stretched version looks also good.
• The icon may be in 16 or 256 color mode.
• I usually hate icons having square shape so use some transparent color also.
• I also dislike icons having only text.
• For your information, a jerboa is a mouse like rodent having long hind legs used for jumping.

You may send your icon(s) to me as mail attachments to mips@sci.fi. If you send more than one file, pack them in a ZIP archive.

You may send me your own signs and binding sets. I will then include them in next version of Jerboa or put them in the download page and put your name somewhere. If you wish you may put your name in the script file in a comment line. I will however take off all other information but your name, e-mail address, homepage address and correct comments. Please use the following syntax when putting your name in the script. I will reformat the script to this syntax or discard the whole script if you don't. You may ofcourse send them also anonymous. Put this information only to the script binded to the first binding. It would only be taking up memory if you put it in all scripts in the binding set.

;BY: YOUR NAME
;E-MAIL: you@somewhere.com
;HOMEPAGE: http://www.something.com/you

If your binding set uses signs not in regular package, please send them also to me or give me a URL where to get the signs. Send signs and binding sets as mail attachement to mips@sci.fi. If you send more than one file, pack them in to a ZIP archive. I will check every sign and binding set before making it available in Jerboa homepage. If I allready have similar signs or binding sets or if there are some other problems I won't make it available. I also might do some own minor changes (add a few restriction marks to a sign for example) to your sign/binding set.
