What shall we call it? This is more important than usual as the script
needs to be updated if it is moved.

Map
OpenSUSE Map
Location Map
Community Map?

I think I would make the Coordinate page a subpage of whatever page is
decided upon.

This is all client-side scripting so to get around javascript security
I do a little hack. As I can't get your browser to download a file
(the coordinates) via javascript from a different domain than the html
file that contains the javascript. ie I can't have my javascript in
the html file hosted on my server download the coordinates directly
from opensuse.org. which are here in their raw format
http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Coordinates&action=raw
I get around this by having a php file on my server with a single line
that "includes" the coordinates "file" from opensuse.org
<?php include("http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Coordinates&action=raw";);
?>

So the script loads this "local" file http://peter.flodin.net/coordinates.php

If you click on that you can see that the encoding has been lost.

Interestingly IE displays this as the correct character on the map.

If we hosted the html file on the opensuse.org domain we could
retrieve the Coordinates directly as they are in the same domain.  Or
figure out how to include UTF-8 files with php.
