Hi, regarding the support point map. The current site is a dead end. I develop it almost alone from scratch in PHP4 using CodeIgniter (a PHP framework). It has not been touched for more than a year. Mainly because I don't have enough time to work on it. The idea floating in my head for more than a year is to leverage Drupal and Launchpad. Using Drupal means that a lot a "base features" such has user registration, login, etc. has not to be re-done. And Launchpad is already integrated in Drupal for user registration, login and group membership. But even for that, I don't have enough time at hand.
My proposition is the remove the current map website. The database can be kept and exported to a more useful format (CSV, vCard, etc.) and handled by a few responsible people (we don't want to make it public since it contains private information).
