The "who lives where" map...

You know, perhaps this hasn't ever even been suggested - I wonder if I'm just thinking of Dave Dunfield's suggestion of a similar map to say who can handle reading different types of media... (which is a good plan in its own right, IMHO) Anyway, I don't mind maintaining some sort of 'big list of contacts' (and have some classiccmp space) if that much were useful - but it seems that a visual map would be sensible, and I've never done anything involving linking to Google maps before... My thinking is that it just needs names, locations, contact info*, and the types of service (potentially) available (muscle power, type of transport - plus perhaps offer of temporary storage space?) * if it's just essentially a classiccmp service, then maybe "find my email address via the mailing list / archives" is sufficient and avoids the obvious spam issues? :-) Everyone has their own preference! Personally just knowing to the nearest 30 miles or so works for me. cheers Jules
