[BD] Google Earth

[Michael Tonge]

Hi guys

A google maps based team finder is currently being developed for  
usage with the ladder league system.  This should be online within  
the next few weeks.  This will provide the opportunity to enter your  
teams location and then people can get directions to the location  
automatically.
This system may be extended in the near future to include a pitch  
database into which all pitches that can be used by frisbee teams in  
the uk could be entered.
If there is someone out there who would like to develop a component  
for a joomla based site that could do this then we would be more than  
happy to integrate it into the uk ladder league site.  This would be  
a good project for anyone looking to learn php or anyone who already  
knows php and just fancies some practice.

Mike
