I made a very early and awful prototype. And it works. It uses python to 
generate the javaScript dynamically. brrr.
The only problem is, that it is not possible to ask opendesktop.org for 
groups. So every person that wants to be on that map has to be entered 
manually. I will ask the opendesktop.org guys.

I would like to test a little more but I need some more userIDs.
May I ask for some  opendesktop.org userIDs  for further testing ? 

Have a look at http://www.kluenter.de/kde/worldwide/
There is a lonely KDE-Icon. Thats me :-)

@Percy: Do you want to turn my python-hack into proper php ?
(I can't write any PHP)
Might be nicer when/if it runs on the kde-server. 


Cheers,
