BTW, I definitely know for-sure how to do this now in SVG. It's pretty easy
using <a xlink:href></a> tagging. I'm still running a lot of the underlying
data from icky flat textfiles, though, and haven't added group/event URLs
into the data yet. But soon. Any suggestions on what to click on to go to
the resource? (Like, do you automatically assume that you're supposed to
click on the circle? Or the text? Or something else?)
Also BTW, I changed the order of painting of the organizations and events.
They used to be sorted (paint order) alphabetically, but that was kind of
silly because small circles became obscured behind big circles half the
time. So now they're sorted by size. Big ones are painted first, and then
small ones last. That way the smallest ones are always guaranteed to be
clickable.
Also BTW, I haven't forgotten about codifying arbitrary shapes. When that
gets to be the easiest thing near the to of the to-do list, I'll tackle it.
I don't think the lack of it is a showstopper just yet, but it'll definitely
make an improvement.
