First of all thanks to Ian for his maps demo.

I had a thought after I left. If we wanted to create our own map of
members that did not use Frappr then we could use ability to encode a
location in a web page as described at

http://geourl.org/add.html

Then we could have a process that checked a list of member sites, which
we already have, and added flags to a Google map. This would rely on
everyone having a site that they could modify to include to location.
For those who don't have a personal site maybe we could we could set
them up a page each on the LUG site.

This all relies on someone implementing the necessary scripts. I may
have a look myself if I get time. I've been looking for something to
hone my Python skills on.

As far as LUG sites go the http://www.hantslug.org.uk is nice. They have
a wiki, so that they can easily update it. They seem to have a healthy
scene going on. They also have a 'Planet' page at
http://www.hantslug.org.uk/planet/ that merges the feeds from various
member sites.
