Developers globe
OK, I have installed a rotating globe on the developers page. After I
get all the developer locations, I will add red dots to the globe.

As an example, I have added Toronto to the globe, which I believe is the
location of our server, and where D'Arcy lives.

Would a 'flat-map' be more friendly? Just looking at it right now, and
I'm on a T1 at work, and its "stalled"...and altho I can see the red dot
around Toronto, its "Faint"...

That may be better. I can make it larger, or can someone send me a flat
earth map to use.

Want to build up a sample of what you are proposing and let us see it?

Look at the national directory on camping-usa. The map was drawn with
lon-lat coordinates for the US and each state and the red dots were put
in place with lon-lat coords. (The clickable map translates the XY to
lon-lat) I don't know how you'd put names in it, tho, without making
the image rather large.

Yes, I can do that with xearth. Very easy. But xearth produces a very
large image, not really proper for a browser, unless we forget the
rotation, and just grab western and eastern hemisphere images and put
the names on there.
With names, that is going to be a large image. Do we want that?

spread around the globe. I think there is a flag for project so no htere
is no need to put western and eastern hemispheres together. xearth is
trimmed to run in a X Windows background.

You don't really need nams associated iwth the dots, just make the dots
reasonably accurate...put a long/lat beside each name in the list, and
country or whatnot...

'cept xearth isn't using lon/lat - unless it's changed from the v1.0 source
I have here (from the 2.2.8 ports collection CD).

Hmmm. I tried to go there but for some reason I keep getting bounced
to Saskatchewan which I assume doesn't have the updates yet. Any idea
why I don't go to the main site? After all, I'm on the same LAN basically.
It seems silly to go out to the net to a mirror.

I just figured this out yesterday:
http://www.postgresql.org/ ---> redirection 'bot
http://www.postgresql.org/index.html ---> master site
The 'bot is good for load sharing, but when you want to see the latest
updates it's a real pain. I'm glad it's possible to bypass it.

Yes. If you do:
http://www.postgresql.org/index.html
you are forced to the main site. Marc told me this a while ago.

OK, larger dots. I added a dot for myself and Tom Lane. Europe will be
all red once I am done. Things are very imprecise at that size.

OK, now the dot is huge. Marc, Tom Lane, and I fit in the same dot.
Looks good, though.

No, Toronto/D'Arch, Tom Lane, and I are in the same dot. Marc gets his
on more east than us.

OK, I have big dots for almost everyone. How does it look. The moving
of the dots is because I was sloppy, but I just wanted to do it quick to
see how it looks.

Alternatively you might put a map behind it and use some
Jscript to write the names into the status line when the
pointer is over the dots.
