[Namron] Devices and AoAs?

[Jennifer]

Donnchadh,
 
Check out the Wiesenfeuer site.  They have done this for a while and it is
quite nice.  I think the Virtual Scribe also has a program that can generate
the icons in the arms for those that don't have a good picture.  I found
some great programs online that have all of the parts of a potential device
and their meanings.  The one thing that Wiesenfeuer is missing is a picture
of the person, that would make a great addition.

The biggest problem with the O&A is that you have to understand the blazons.
This can be difficult even for those of us who have been subjected to
Barat's flash cards. 

So, one of the projects I have though about doing, is creating a "Populace"
section on the Namron website (with the Vscribe's blessing of course) that
lists the members of the Barony, along with their device and maybe a
picture.  Other things could be added such as a short description of their
persona history etc.  This would be another way for someone to be able to
put a face with a name and a device. 

What do you guys think?  Would you be interested in doing this?  For it to
work, people would have to get me a copy of their device that I could scan
in (I am in no way an artist, and have problems drawing stick figures).
