[OWASP-GUIDE] Images for the Guide

[Andrew van der Stock]

Hi there,

I think the images could be done as SVG files. This allows most
platforms to view and edit them, and there are some nifty tools (such as
Freehand and Illustrator) that do a top notch job of creating say the
template graphics to get the same style throughout the guide.

Compositing would then involve rendering the SVG file into a PNG or TIF
for inclusion with the docbook file. There are Perl libraries to do
this. This would keep the images in a format we could all work with and
still allow the Guide to be put together automatically.

I happily note that there is a Visio->SVG converter available. :-)

Thanks,
