Hi guys,

today there was an idea of a hackfest in the #etk channel on freenode.net. For 
managing this the idea came up to have an overview where the devs are located 
on the earth. So I searched a bit and found "xplanet" that seems perfect for 
this job. It will get a list of devs with abolute world GPS coords and names 
and create a nice looking world map with the devs on it.

Here is an example:
Small version: http://thunder-development.de/test/etk_developers-small.png
High-Res version: http://thunder-development.de/test/etk_developers.png 
(attention 11mb)

Morlenxus had the idea to have the devs coords inside the info.txt in CVS. So a 
script on the server could fetch all coords out of this files and run xplanet 
to generate the image. At least for the high-res version it could maybe be a 
hard task for a webserver, here it takes 30 sec of 100% load on a Celeron M 1.6 
to generate it. So maybe it would be better to just have the coords in the 
info.txt file, but the collection of them and generation of the image will be 
done from time to time manually.

Would like to hear your opinions :)
