I am thinking we need to do something automated with the existing email
lists. It seems self-registration isn't working or isn't prominent
enough.

Huh? Trying to put this is context with what is below, and can't see how
they relate :(

Maybe Bruce is referring to the map we created of origins of emails
to the mailing list, which we create a while ago:
http://www.zeesource.net/maps/map.do?group=456
With this kind of a map, we can get some sense of where Postgresql
users are located.

FWIW I was just dusting off my google maps code about two nights ago. After
looking over a bunch of things I was planning to just go with my original
scheme which was integrating a google maps interface into the postgresql
website. I tend to favor this over the different external solutions we have
seen, and even though its not postgis based, which I know a lot of people
would like, it's not like it's an anti-postgresql oriented solution, and we
don't really need to have that much complexity in there, at least not
initially; we can do developers, support companies and sponsors all with out
it. The one idea I have seen that was really slick was the tagging of the
email lists onto a map, and even this could probably be done using google
maps if we can get the ip->geocoordinate mapping worked out.
Hmm.. all that said there is one thing I needed to test before I could commit
what I have now. If there aren't any objections I'll proceed with that plan.

I think our emails may have crossed. We do have the email list soln.,
with the email->ip->geocordinates thing all worked out.
So, if you want to go with Google maps, I'd be happy to help out.
