People are rushing with no need.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your offer and e-Mail.

Encouraging collaboration has been our point of focus from the very beginning:<BR/>* We've chosen php instead of a more productive, but less common framework like rails or django.<BR/>* We've put everything in a public version control system.<BR/>* We've put translations into Rosetta.<BR/><BR/>In the near future, we might even decide to open up the map, and offer it directly as a service to the rest of the world... How cool would that be.<BR/><BR/>Now server performance... The server is being hit pretty hard right now, and the client side code is pretty demanding on resources. Lots of optimisations possible. Your contribution is more than welcome.<BR/><BR/>Mark<BR/>ubuntu-be.org coordinatorMark Van den Borrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06387179974055444605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2099374008738347758.post-19636308665130232562007-04-30T09:07:00.000+00:002007-04-30T09:07:00.000+00:00WAY to Brussels-centric.

AFAICT, no coverage outside your nation certainly no coverage outside of continental Europe.<BR/><BR/>I'm in the U.S. and you registration form wouldn't even allow me to register. I got a number of errors. (1) "Unknow Zipcode." -- My Zip code is 72701 and has been for quite a while, so I know that's correct. (2) 'City must have value: "".' -- Fayetteville, AR, USA was pretty specific, but I guess you service isn't really all-inclusive is it?.<BR/><BR/>Also, your java script on the initial page runs so slowly that Konqueror thought it was locking up and offered to kill the offending script for me. I didn't kill it; I just waited though.<BR/><BR/>Nice try though. I'd like to see what Tiago does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
