During FrOSCon 2023, a group of AlekSIS developers did a little brainstorming on the character of the Aleksolotl:

The Aleksolotl is the official mascot of the AlekSIS project.

The Aleksolotl is an axolotl.
Its colors are different variants of blue.
It's extremely playful.
It has a schoolbag.
It really doesn't like developers not doing their stuff.
It's incredibly sweet and kind.
It's a little bit naive.
It's very curious.
It loves to learn and organize things.
Its favorite meal is a Greek seafood platter.

Additionally, there were some ideas in which places an Aleksolotl could appear:

plush toys
printed
digital
rollups
manuals
sheets
t-shirts
socks
website
stickers
banners
as soldering kit

This issue is mainly intended to keep track of the progress of getting an Aleksolotl graphic.

Finish main graphics as SVG
Check and document licensing with creator
Reward creator
Define list of needed Aleksolotl designs
Review list of needed Aleksolotl designs
Let creator create needed designs
Implement on website (picture, explanation)
Implement in manual (picture, explanation)
Implement in error pages in application
Implement on about page in application
Add credits
Create merchandise

Where do we need the Aleksolotl and how should it look?

Implemented?	Where	How should it look?
[ ]	Search when no results	Sad, maybe looking through Binoculars?
[x]	403 page	angry, looking like a bouncer with sunglasses and verschränkte Arme
[x]	404 page	confused with a map in hand
[ ]	500 page	Confused with a toolbox
[x]	Offline fallback page	has a smartphone in hand with a big floating wifi error (like this
[x]	Crud-lists when no items	some kind of motivating message to create an object
[x]	Notifications when no notifications	maybe a sad aleksolotl that thinks of letters/mail?
[ ]	Splash screen	Instead of the loader maybe some kind of animated swimming aleksolotl ?
[ ]	Data checks	Happy and in a winner's pose if all checks passed, sad or angry if there are failures
[ ]	FAQ asking page	question marks around its head maybe
[ ]	REBUS and Feedback success pages	maybe exclamation marks around its head? Or joyful in some kind of way
[ ]	Timebased documents default document	some kind of being confused
[ ]	Timetable management when no group is selected	Aleksolotl standing at magnet board
[x]	No timetable selected	Aleksolotl checking its timetable
[x]	About page	???
