Hi Shawn and others,

(for the ones not knowing yet what I was busy with: I'm trying to make
a WindFinder.com plugin for the KDE4 weather engine)
here's everything I coded today. I added a few functions at the end of
the weather formula files for converting wind speeds from knots.
The conversion formulas were based upon the formulas in the google
gadget windfinder ion, but are fairly trivial (look on wikipedia for
the conversion constants http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knot_%28speed%29
)

In the WindFinder ion i have parsing the stations list now in that way
that it only looks at stations, and ignores the other information
about country and continent.

It only looks at the current observation, parsing forecasts would
require parsing an additional xml file (xmlforecast.xml instead of
xmlreport.xml); I believe the format is the same so we could try to
reuse parseWeatherBlock for that later.

The updateWeather method must still be implemented.

Kind regards,

Hans Bakker

PS sorry for annoying everybody with accidentally sending the message
