[Openstreetmap] Coders needed for similar project & UK FOI act request update.

[Clive Galway]

This may be a bit off-topic, I know, and I apologise.
I am writing an open source internet mapping application to allow users to plot points and paths on Google Maps and share them online.
I am by no means an expert at PHP / Javascript / MySQL and am starting to struggle getting the project much past the proof-of-concept stage.
I am in the process of putting my project on sourceforge and am seeking programmers to help out with the project.

There is a demo of my proof of concept at http://gmaps.evilc.com feel free to check it out.

On a side note, as a result of this project, I am currently trying to push through a Freedom of Information Act request on the British Government to get them to release UK political boundary data (eg counties etc) into the public domain on the grounds that political boundaries of our country are the property of the populace and not Ordnance Survey as they are saying.
The original request was denied, it is currently on appeal and I am in talks with the ombudsman's office ( The governing body one appeals to if they feel the request / appeal has been unlawfully denied ) who seem to be quite outraged that this information is not free and they think I am in with a half-decent chance.
>From what I understand you guys would like very much to lay your hands on as much data you can, I definately think FOI is the way to go. Swamp them buggers with FOI requests until they relent !!

Once again, sorry to spam with an off-topic post.
