Yes, we must keep the text info too. The globe is beautiful, but
not everyone will want to/be able to look at it.
Also, we seem to be missing some names/pins. Hiroshi's name is
conspicuous by its absence, and if it weren't so late at night
I'd probably think of some more...

Yepp, you're right. Do a reload and look at my pin (on the
final page I'll be shaved a little better, it's just a quick
grab from my camera taken 20 minutes ago).
I really like that very much, now this is MY entry and not
just some information about me. Thank you very much, Matthew!
It's an 80x80 JPG and only 1931 bytes. A good size to be
recognizable and not overloading the popup.
So would anyone please send me some picture (or just a note
that he doesn't want one). If it's not actually 80x80 ready
to stick in, please send something at least 3x the size so I
can crop and downscale it without much quality loss.

I think people with no pictures should have a default picture... Maybe 'Barney' or something evil like that to encourage them to send in a pic. :) Good job though. Any chance you'll clean the code up and release the package in a form that others can use? I think its a very nice layout and that other open source projects might like to make use of it. If its backended into PostgreSQL it might make it easier for users to manage their own entries. Picture submissions could be handled that way with no intervention.

I think that we have by far the coolest developers page of any open-source'ish project out there. What I miss is something like a line what people do in their Real Life. From what I gather most people around here are probably one of programmer, system admin, or in academia. But it would put a refreshing realistic context to the whole thing. *** puts on asbestos suit *** Also I think putting the photos below the globe (at least in addition) might be better because for people digging around in Europe or the North American east coast it obscures too much and it's also hard to get an overview. -Peter On Mon, 18 Oct 1999, Jan Wieck wrote: > Yepp, you're right.

Exactly that is something NOT to put on this page. Don't make
the job of headhunters too easy!

Looser, that's not bullet proof :-)

I could turn the text in the pages body into a table and add
the images there too. But I absolutely like them in the popup
and will let them in.

When I was looking at the page last night, I could *not* get Netscape
to show me the images in the popups at all; I just got the "unloaded
image" icon. This probably had something to do with the fact that
I normally browse with autoload images off, and had come to the page
in that state. There's no way to click on an image that's inside a
popup to get it to load :-(. But even after I turned on autoload
and reloaded the page, no popup images.

Should be better now. I've turned the body into the mentioned
table. IMHO this requires that we get images for ALL
developers, since the current mixing of items with/without is
ugly.
The images referenced in the body are the same as is the
popup. Thus, when you've loaded them (maybe with the general
Images button) they should popup.
Works at least with Netscape4.6 Linux.
