So, Google Maps API 2 is coming out.
I have never done well with Javascript and my old fossilized mind isn’t learning it well now. I would love to get some church ministry tools together using the Google Map API (Small Group lists, off site activities, perhaps member maps even), but I know I am not going to do anything great.
I keep hoping someone out their in the Christian Web Geek community gets a calling to do some Google Map API based scripts. If it is good I think I could even throw a chunk of change at it. I know our church would pay for some of this. The question is whether we hire expensive programmers doing propriety code or people in it for the minsitry doing some open code that benefits many people.
We already have a company nearby that could probably do some of this, but I would like something out in the community that will continue to grow.
