There are a bunch of techies hiding in the woodwork here and there,
I'm one of them:  Unix SysAdmin during the day, open-source
contributor and SAR guy at other times.  I'm somewhat familiar with
E-Gads and one of my buddies in SAR is now officially one of the
developers I think.

There's also the SAR_APRS mailing list if you're interested in
real-time tracking of SAR teams on maps.  I am.  So is Mr. Russo.
If you start a list for the above topic you might post an
announcement about it on there too.
