A few errors have crept into http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/changeset/18390 I used to do this sort of data checking for commercial software, so the following list is exhaustive: the first few are important, but they get increasingly trivial as we go down the list. I have taken all data from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2, the source cited by famfamfam, so that the flag assignments should match. Israel, West Bank, and the Gaza Strip have all been coded 'IL'. The West Bank may be disputed, but the Gaza Strip coding would certainly be regarded as offensive. Code 'PS' is available for the "Palestinian Territory, Occupied".. "Congo, Republic of the" should be coded 'CG' (distinct from "Congo, Democratic Republic of the", CD) "Tonga" should be coded 'TO' (distinct from "Togo", TG) The only available flag code for Taiwan is 'TW' (strictly "Taiwan, Province of China", but that might also be disputed). Current 'TY' is undefined. famfamfam has no image for 'IM', "Isle of Man". I suppose you could use 'GB', but that wouldn't be ideal: but if you don't, the 93 or so users on the Isle of Man and the 581 (??!!) in Antarctica ('AQ') will be the only ones not represented by a flag - except for..... ....."International". Shame famfamfam doesn't have a UN flag. I'm glad to see that you have unilaterally ceded the whole of the "Virgin Islands" to Britain ('VG') :-) The folloing ISO flag countries have not yet been recognised by BOINC: AX Åland Islands BV Bouvet Island CC Cocos (Keeling) Islands CX Christmas Island GS South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands HM Heard Island and McDonald Islands IO British Indian Ocean Territory NF Norfolk Island SH Saint Helena SJ Svalbard and Jan Mayen TF French Southern Territories UM United States Minor Outlying Islands VI Virgin Islands, U.S. YT Mayotte _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
