There are two issues here, but tied up in Moin and its image handling,
which is stuck in the stone ages.

1. Icons on the wiki. This is icons take up a lot of vertical space. I
have been removing them as I come across them.

2. Screenshots. These are a great idea but require you actually
upload. No wiki engine handles the finding of the upload form well,
but in Moin attachments are page specific. This means if you want to
use a screenshot across multiple pages, you need to upload it to each
of those pages.

My ideal image storage would be an extension of our SVN repo that
could be accessed in Moin, accessible for all documentation, wiki or
in SVN.
