Must the 'icon' field be mandatory? #18

Closed slopjong closed 11 years ago

slopjong commented 12 years ago

What thoughts are behind having the 'icon' field being mandatory?

From my point of view it could be optional. Are there apps which rely heavily on it? I think most apps evaluate the 'open' field and use their own icon set to display it.

The hackerspaces.me wall uses it and I don't see why it is so difficult to associate an icon with it?

What are the reasons/usecases of making it optional?

My thought was that all the apps I knew or remembered were evaluating the 'open' field and using their own icon set. I simply forgot your wall.

I see some spaces missing that fields or at least what was cached is missing those. In your case you could fetch the directory as follows:
