[OSGeo-Discuss] looking for help to develop a geo map social networking website

[Chris Fortune]

Hello,

I'm developing a social networking website in PHP, with a central geo map
component.  I need custom coding to make it look and behave similar to
Google Maps.  For example, in addition to zoom, nice terrain graphics,
street names and such, we need the ability to add a photo / multimedia layer
(with stacking image thumbnails & other icons).   Clicking on an icon would
fetch appropriate content from the server, via ajax, displayed in a popup
div containing html content.   User could save buffers of locations and
zoom level.   Hide/ unhide layers.   et cetera....

I am open to your experiences, suggestions, and recommendations.  And,
if you are available to work full time on this job for 3-6 months, or if you
know somebody who would, please contact me.

many thanks in advance,
Chris Fortune
