  • I just found out that I need to mention that I'm participating in the WikiCup. Thanks, Spencer^T♦C 21:15, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
• Comment Is there any way this could be SVGified? (Though I assume with the elevation embedded as a raster image.) That would make edits and translations much easier. Calliopejen1 (talk) 13:42, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
  • I'm not sure. I'm pretty horrible at working with SVGs, and I sent some messages over to the creators on de.wiki. Spencer^T♦C 00:18, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
    • NordNordWest left a comment on my talk page. To summarise up a long paragraph, NNW says its possible, but there would be font and rendering issues, and finished by saying, "It's a decision about what you prefer: a translatable map or a map with a better graphic design." I have to agree with this assessment, and because this is FPC, I'd prefer better graphic design over translatability, (not saying that translatability is bad.
