Future Directions

Higher-priority, welcomed contributions:

• FD0 People whom actually KWTHTD should curate flags to maintain resolution-agnosticness... they should work for tiny feature phones / LCD displays, press work and when 16X displays come out.

• FD0.5 Maybe maintaining both 4x3 and squared arent necessary, if there's some way to do clipping in svg or html/css?

• FD1 Flags themselves should be extracted to a seperate, platform-agnostic repo so that client/server platform-specific packaging can be applied.

• FD1.5 Served as static assets on cdnjs too.

• FD2 New maintainer - Apply within.

• FD3 Language flags - This was the original motivator for this project, to solve websites presenting a small drop-down to choose locales without relying on raster images. Note: some languages have flags without countries, but most just rely on country flags, hence much borrowing from countries is possible. Might want to have language-* dirs and just symlink to country-*/* so that the ISO language code contains the right flag.
