I just thought Id put this out here. This site seems a good authority on flags. <br><a href="http://www.vexilla-mundi.com">http://www.vexilla-mundi.com</a><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 8:01 AM, chovynz <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:chovynz@gmail.com">chovynz@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

What might be useful is just a note site-wide that all the flags will need checking for accuracy, maybe on a wiki to-do?. I personally don't really want to do masses of research at the moment. It would make for things accurate and correct when finally uploaded, but It'll take a long time to find out what is the closest version to "official". It'll also take some fiddling in Inkscape.<br>
<br>I'm all for just uploading them as quickly as possible at this current time. People will say something if they spot an incorrect version as they use the library anyway. <br><div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<br>Should I change them from "Jakob [<a href="mailto:chaosinfaith@hotmail.com" target="_blank">chaosinfaith@hotmail.com</a>]" to "Jakob [chaosinfaith <at> hotmail <dot> com]"? Or is it better not to use e-mail addresses at all?<br>
