Jack_Trowell was going to try his hand at adding support for semirand to his online tool a couple of years ago, but I haven't heard anymore about it. I think an online version of the Province & God Editors with a repository of the creations would be a great resource.
I have been away from DOM3 for a while, and my previous server had suffered a disk failure.

I have recently installed a new server and restored my backups.

There were some Perl modules not yet installed on the server, but it is done now, and my map randomizer is working again.

I suppose that adding suppord for semirand files (and a form to submit new provinces as was initially planned) should not be very hard, I will see what I can do.
