Okay lovely. I think what I will do is see how much demand there is for it, and if there's much I'll look into it. Do you think it would take me long to figure out? Given zero knowledge of javascript but lots of general programming experience.
Java and JavaScript have nothing in common except for the name, which was picked for marketing reasons. Java is a full-blown programming language which is quite often taught in school and college when it comes to object-oriented programming. You'll have to get your hands dirty with imaging in Java, but if you're experienced in OOP and you use the links that I provided before as a base, you might come up with something in a reasonable time. I'd have to start at about the same as you would, so I'm not much help.

I'm about to make the game creation process on my server fully automated, so that I don't have to get involved any more - I've been coding like crazy for the last week and a half or so. I'm going to provide as big a choice of ready-made maps as I can, and also I've included the option for people to upload their own .map files for map images the server already has. But I'm not sure how desperate they'd be to be able to provide new images.
As I've said many times before, that's about my oldest dream that I want to realize too, a fully web-customizable automated Dom3 server. Hasn't happened yet, though. Would be interesting to see what you come up with as a reference.
