Reach out to gw2timer people

Ok, it's probably time for a "come to Jesus" moment. This project has been taking up a lot more of my time - and taking a lot longer - than planned. The only features I really have planned that gw2timer.com doesn't seem to have are:

• tracking zone completion (on a per-item basis, manually)
• per-zone configurable reminders
• GPS/position integration without using the overlay

From what I can tell, GPS/position integration without using the overlay might be possible... we'd just need to integrate with the gw2copilot server running on localhost and pull position data from there. If that's possible, then 90% of what I've written isn't needed, and could be replaced. I could probably test that with a userscript that reads from gw2copilot and writes to the P.GPS* variables.

But the bottom line is, gw2timer has most of the map features that I want already working, and they have a lot of manually-curated data. They don't, however, have any sort of license information or use policy on their site, and they don't seem to have public source code.

• GW2 Navi Overlay appears to be the only thing that sends GPS data, and that's closed-source too...
• their only obvious contact method is the forum, I don't even see clear contact information anywhere else... aside from contacting the admin of the forum who appears to be the developer

Ok, posted topic to the forum: http://forum.renaka.com/topic/8035673/1/

Done. See that thread for info. The gist of it is, he gave me a bunch of useful references for overlay projects that might be of use or have data or ideas that are of use. His code for gw2timer.com is in https://github.com/Drant/GW2Timer and I'm free to tinker with it or use the data for non-commercial purposes, though some of it (Collectibles and Guild Missions) came from Tim's Tool overlay without explicit permission (author is Reincarnated.1754 on the GW2 forums).

If I use this data, I should add a prominent credit in the map attribution and README.
