Hello All

I think what Alexandro is suggesting is that we create a javascript that people would insert in their webpage along with the background of the countdown, in svg format. Then we would have a <text> in the svg that would be left blank and whose content would be controlled by javascript using getElementByID or something similar.

Answers below. I remove much of the email but the idea I think is more
than 1 year old. I remember someone trying with the Inkscape scripting
like 2 years ago at least and we discussed about the issues to finally
give up. But I think it was just to automate the making of 100+ png
images. So apparently I'm still confused about your proposal.

Not sure I understood. As I said I will read the links you offered, it
will just take time.

That wasn't me. The OSM layer was added by an Italian contributor (we
asked for someone to help). No one at the SFI board at the time was able
to do the job...which is why we were using Google maps initially.

As you see we just put the pieces together (while doing was we were able
to do).

Thanks.
