[Bioc-devel] Idea for improved visibility of Bioconductor packages

[Andrzej Oleś]

Hi Thomas,

thank you for sharing your idea!

One possibility would be to include a package icon/logo next to the package
name if the package provides one. This file could be saved as inst/logo.png
or vignettes/logo.png, e.g. see
https://github.com/aoles/EBImage/blob/master/vignettes/logo.png

Best,
Andrzej
