See Advanced Courses NAH, I know EnoughAspiring Developers, GeoLocation Module wants you!
What is GeoLocation module?
For OSCMS, over a year ago, I wrote a module called geolocation as an example CCK field. It has languished in CVS for quite a while, I finally set up a project for it today, and I'm looking for a co-maintainer.
Why do you need help?
I don't have time right now. I'm in the midst of major upgrades on the image* modules I maintain, doing new development on filefield and other media related modules, trying to keep up with my day job, and preparing to do 6.x ports of the modules I maintain.
Ok, so what do you need?
I need someone who would like to run with the module and implement a few necessary features for it. I want to stay involved because I want to play with different proximity searching techniques and would like a free hand to do it.
This would be a great role for an aspiring developer who already has some basic CCK and Views skills and wants a chance to expand them, and work on a module with a lot of potential.
What is the condition of GeoLocation?
GeoLocation is currently functional as a field module and works with Drupal 5.x. It has a basic text widget as well as yahoo maps integration that hasn't been tested since OSCMS. (I did yahoo maps since we were on their turf.)
What does GeoLocation need?
- Improve the views integrations by adding filters for longitude, latitude, and proximity.
- Google Maps input widget
- Gmap Module integration
If you're interested please contact me @ http://drupal.org/user/22202 and I will be happy to discuss in further detail what I'm looking for in a co-maintainer and the direction of the module.
