Hi
I just wanted to know how I can help with Persian one.
Yes, funnily I was talking with you offline and looked at the Persian countdown. The SVG file has not been uploaded to the wiki. We're looking at a different way to provide the countdown so translations are easier to fit in. Also since I did it yesterday for French, Chinese Simplified and Traditional, generating 100 png with different numbers or text is not that fun ;-) So I'll recommend to wait a few more days and see if we can do better. I think we in
Iran (or even Afghanistan) will celebrate SFD one day before the official day since we have Friday as holiday Iran and Afghanistan. Yet I am not sure if this would be the decision for all (possible) teams.
How this could be managed?
This comes back often (celebrating on a specific date) and while it is better for 'the (SFD) community' to celebrate on the same day, each country, region, religion often have conflicting celebration which will make your SFD event not the place people can be. In such case we recommend local teams to pick a better date and make it clear their event is on a different date. I've moved my SFD events a few times, sometimes 1 month later due to local celebration. A side issue is that the coundown will not work so well. If you can host the files yourself, then we provide all the code for your to run it, and we can probably help you out if you're struggling with it. I think it's getting easier to run Python on shared hosting as well, so VPS are not required (that might really depend on the host though). So to summarize: pick the date that works for your community, and make sure it's very clear on your wiki page and communication channels. Thank you. Fred
