[edit] Scope

I, TydeNet, hereby wish to implement a WikiProject on Climate, with the main objective being the creation of a "Climate" infobox to place on specific city pages, etc. Despite the huge detail embodied in Wikiproject Cities, this very important element was found lacking.

Ideally, I'd like a sort of table that also converts numerical data into a graph to be displayed above the table. Unfortunately, I think this is above my level of programming prowess, thus the need for a Project. I'd like everyone's help here!

See below

[edit] Project details

The basic essence of the project is to first of all implement a basic Climate Table, and then build on it from there. My creation of said Climate table (at this point have not started the table per se) can be found here: Template:Climate Table.

Future programming of said infobox (eg to transpose data into a graph) should be postponed until the basic Climate table is off the ground.
