[georss] Integrating GIS and CMS (no HTML)

[Douglass Davis]

(hopefully this message every one can read)

Hello All!

I am doing some research on integrating Geographic Information Systems and 
Content Management Systems. I would like to make it easier for any one to 
use GIS on a website with a variety of web applications (web links, forums, 
News, RSS Aggregators, later: photo albums, Wordpress).

I am testing out a site on the web.

Disclaimers:
- Sorry but I couldn't get the international dataset to work :(  That will 
be at a later date on another site.
- I hope to release it open-source later, :) but right now, the code is not 
in very good shape.


Here is the site:
http://www.thedailynation.us/


Some Features:
- Enter a location with your news, link, or other item and it shows up on on 
map.
- Notifications can now be set up to inform you of things within a certain 
number of miles from a given location
- GeoRSS feeds that tell you where an item is.
- Show items nearby any US city or point.
- Add a map "block" to any page.

There's not a lot of content there now.. But, any comments are appreciated.
