Apparently the radius label doesn't work in marker files for my version of xplanet. I'm sure I saw examples of labels floating in space over the markers on the globe.
I think a html USEMAP , with the URLs as targets and a TITLE="unsername" should work nicely. I'm refreshing my perl to get this generated. (Andy would have used ACME::Inline::PERL, instead.)
Meanwhile I'm musing about some kind of policy statements that would allow people to clarify their permissiong of such privacy invading activities...
That would be neat. For the map to be a where we are?, the URL should be a reasonable home page, and a FullName field (like in /etc/passwd) could be added to be used as TITLE (althoug [EMAIL PROTECTED] is already public info). Alternatively, a second URL with the "true" home page would be needed.
A shell field could be added (if /bin/false, no name, no link ;-) ).
While I agree that a "statement of use" should be done, I think most people publishing their coordinates in a html file won't object to having the name and a link in the map. Let's see.
I'll keep trying to "perl" the map. (So long since I last used perl for something more serious than fixing a small bug!).

Ben - could you also put the harversted lat/lon list there ?
Prefered: cvs co committers cd committers/krell make tmp/geomarkers
Currently: http://cvs.apache.org/markers.txt
For that you only need unix and perl.
I'd like to slap a WMS (Open GIS Web Mapping Server) interface over it - so one can doe things like zoom in; or change the background, add roads, etc.
Oh that would be neat!

Wow, great work Ben and Santiago. I added to the FAQ to explain geographic co-ordinates. Some people have their latitude and longitude reversed.
Thanks!
The obvious ones are: bdelacretaz, gstein, jwoolley
Actually they haven't exposed their location, so I dumped then in Antarctica.
