[Ubuntu-be] Getting a new Website

[mongolito404]

Hi,

Bruno, is the current version of the Location module compatible with
the planned Drupal version (there is an hidden question here) ? Does
it provides any search API over the geolocalization data (like the
nearest node, or all nodes in a specific area, etc.) ? I would better
contribute to an existing project than re-inventing yet another wheel.
But I fear this module may be too generics (because it's support
geolocalization of any node) without providing the features we need
(because not designed to provide them).

Pierre (V.), please see the requirements
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/2008/WebsiteRequirements). OpenID
is planned, for both the web site and the support point map (since
it's backend will be the web site).
