I've been re-entering my life data into Orgmode after about a year of just
using a palm pilot. So I would like to contribute something to the org
community again. A while back I wrote some elisp code for displaying bitmap
icons as overlays in org buffers (screenshots at
http://dto.github.com/notebook/linkd.html )
As you can see I also drew a bunch of .xpm icons for emacs to display in the
buffers. I would be happy to contribute these icons and rework that 30 or 40
lines of overlay code back into a nice little org extension.
After a discussion on the #org-mode IRC channel, it seems like there might
be a demand for this. We have at least 2 people who want it. :)

What do people think of icons in org buffers? This could actually reduce
visual noise and increase comprehension. Think of priorities being colored
circles instead of [#A] [#B] [#C]. Or TODO and DONE and CANCELED being
represented by different checkboxy icons.
