hi openguides,
(hi ivor, i saw moblogged pictures of you talking about mapping openguides to the SVG people at http://moblog.nicecupoftea.org the other day. hope you enjoyed it... )
you might not know schuyler and rich are working on a 'mapping hacks' book from ORA and soliciting user contributions from the wild. there are three openguides hacks pencilled in to it, all of which have my name on them.
i thought a/ ivor might like to write up his talk into a hack, the book doesnt have enough SVG in it, b/ kake might like to write a hack based on some of that perl.com article, including new features c/ i'm not really trying to palm it off onto other people, but reckon you would do it better than me if i could persuade you.
a 'hack' is typically 1000-2000 words in length, and includes about 50 lines of interesting code, and is focused on getting a simple thing done. the list is at http://mappinghacks.com/cgi-bin/hacks.cgi
