[Ubuntu-be] help: map.ubuntu-be.org/fr ?

[Pierre Buyle]

Hi,

You are right, the site is not really friendly to user without access
to a browser supported by Google Map. The fact is that it has not been
a primary goal when developing the map. Since the deployment of the
current map, I had lost both interest and time to work on it for many
not-so-good reason. I may restart work on it later but I wont make any
promise on what or when. The basic idea is to leverage the Drupal
website to avoid reinventing the wheel (user registration, etc.) and
help spreading the application (Drupal is the Canonical "recommended"
CMS for LoCo teams).

In the meantime, you can still use the map with a browser supported by
Google Map. You can contact support points through the contact
available when clicking on one of the contact links available when
clicking on a support point. The URLs for these contact form are
bookmarkable, so you can pass them to your firend if you don't want to
contact them on his/her behalf.

PS: If anyone wants to work on the map, either from what's done, as a
Drupal module, from scratch or whatever and drive its development, I
would be more than happy to contribute.
