Hi devs,
In order to implement http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-9512 (display the flag icon and the language pretty name instead of the language code) I need to bundle a flag icon set in XE. The best option seems to be http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/flags/ . They say:
"These flag icons are available for free use for any purpose with no requirement for attribution."
So if no one objects I'm going to add the PNG set to xwiki-platform-web, in webapp/resources/icons/flags . It weights about 130KB.
The alternative is to display only the language pretty name, but it's less nicer.
Or maybe you know a better flag icon set.
Thanks, Marius
