That's a great idea, and actually on our way back from the MUM we were
saying that it would be cool to have something like this...
unfortunately nobody in our group had time to work on this, so if you
offer to build such a site then great!  :)

My wishlist items for this application would be that you make the
locations available as WMS and WFS services.  We need only the
locations, I wouldn't expect that you could serve the base maps via WMS
anyway... this way, anyone can integrate locations in their own
MapServer app, implement their own queries, etc.
