Yes, methinks there are also about ten totally passive Wiki admin positions vacant, not counting JTN and Cazfi, who are busy with more important stuff, also not counting the founder, who is still alive and to some seriously limited way still aware of the wiki, and not counting another admin, who is busy with code + translation + the German wiki: HRM 696681XYZ wrote:Referring to this discussion: http://forum.freeciv.org/f/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=784 Is the nations mantainer "position" vacant?
Well, I made that offer one year ago... In a month I got more time. But most important would for me to know how I do it... It would need an idiot-proof instruccion.Fair warning, you should know that I'll bury you in about 200 "now valid" SVG flags as fast as I can produce them at some random point in time.
A proper subset is idiot-proof: Check old vs. new SVG visually in its file history on the Wiki, if they appear to be identical you need no new PNG flags + shields. That's where my old glasses for old eyes fail, I'd miss minor color changes.XYZ wrote:It would need an idiot-proof instruccion.
It's not a lie. PD "license" does not prevent us from taking it and relicensing it under GPLv2 (ourselves). If there's any clauses (it's not pure PD) preventing this, it can't be used in freeciv.dunnoob wrote:If the license is "public domain from commons" it is good enough. Maybe the credits in flags.spec should not lie and claim GPLv2
Almost all fixed: 236 pages deleted, various file rename and edit requests also resolved.dunnoob wrote:HRM 696681
Definitely unintentional, I only cared about valid, the wanted PNG sizes are still documented on the nations page of the Wiki.hima wrote:If y'all want to move away from standardization on 2:3 that's fine by me. But just wanted to make sure it wasn't unintentional.
Update: "Manually" means rsvg-convert (SVG to PNG) + imagew (scale 2:3 input PNG down to three different wanted 2:3 output PNGs) + ffmpeg (PNG to PAM and back to PNG) + a Rexx script to copy or remove rows or columns of pixels at the top, right, bottom, or left side: In Freeciv terminology that's urdl (up, right, down, left) matching the clockwise CSS margins, borders, etc.
