Let's see... so we have some geo-information about the US/Canada people here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/US/Members That page uses a pretty consistent format that could be scraped and translated into lat/long coords. We could expand into as many other countries as you like. I would suggest that people not add their full personal addresses to a public resource, or even to a private db that pumps out precise GPS coords, just for privacy considerations. For the US list we have City (or region) and State, and I think that's probably going to give us accurate-enough points to place on a map. > So for the database work I would need some help, I do not know how the > database design should work, but finding some people which help here might be > good ^^ > > @all: OSM or GMaps? Anyone with a helping hand? If a lightweight solution like TDF Wiki + scraper + OSM overlay sounds good, I might know a couple of people who could help out with that.
