Well, I created this page http://peter.flodin.net/openSUSE.html

It uses the coordinates it finds on our wiki: http://en.opensuse.org/Coordinates and then plots them in realtime.

Good idea - I have - a suggestion: the wiki page should contain a link to your page and an explanation what this is and how people can add theirself - basically the content of your mail (didn't do it for now because I don't know if it breaks your script) In case your script doesn't work well with these additional comments on the page, maybe the coordinates could be placed on the talk page. - a bugreport: your server doesn't like utf8, see "Nürnberg" for example - the "balloon" on the map shows "ü" instead of "ü" - added myself ;-)

My computer keeps telling me to Have Lots of Fun...and it was the only reason I did this, and I share it with you without any expectation.

What shall we call it? This is more important than usual as the script needs to be updated if it is moved. Map OpenSUSE Map Location Map Community Map? I think I would make the Coordinate page a subpage of whatever page is decided upon.

This is all client-side scripting so to get around javascript security I do a little hack. As I can't get your browser to download a file (the coordinates) via javascript from a different domain than the html file that contains the javascript. ie I can't have my javascript in the html file hosted on my server download the coordinates directly from opensuse.org. which are here in their raw format http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Coordinates&action=raw I get around this by having a php file on my server with a single line that "includes" the coordinates "file" from opensuse.org <?php include("http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Coordinates&action=raw"); ?> So the script loads this "local" file http://peter.flodin.net/coordinates.php If you click on that you can see that the encoding has been lost. Interestingly IE displays this as the correct character on the map. If we hosted the html file on the opensuse.org domain we could retrieve the Coordinates directly as they are in the same domain. Or figure out how to include UTF-8 files with php. Peter 'Pflodo' Flodin.

Instead of creating a new page, I have revamped (rewritten) the OpenSUSE Community page, as it needed it, and included the map. http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Community Incidentally it is good timing as Google Maps just upgraded coverage of Europe to include Road maps. Now if they would only do Australia.... Peter "Pflodo" Flodin.

Peter "Pflodo" Flodin. very cute :-)

it should be even better if you could add <pre> tags on the coordinate page to get rid of the messy aspect thanks :-) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos
