[OSGeo-Discuss] See where all our friends are on my Friend Map!

Hi,

perhaps it is worth to have a look at http://www.mapbender.org which is 
already running a Mapbender user map. Mapbender is part of OSGEO (and 
here using /Mapbender/Mapserver/Postgres/Postgis) - it is quite easy to 
setup a GUI for placing OSGEO users...

just my 2 cents,

greets,
Lars-Hendrik
