OK, geeks!
I have a new project that needs a taker.
Skills required:
Basic web design
Intermediate HTML knowledge
Here’s the scoop:
We have dozens of groups in the Groups section that could help connect people living in different regions. However, the groups themselves are not easy to find.
The idea is to display a clickable map that members could hover over and click in order to either navigate a level down (for instance, if there’s a group of folks in LA and one in the Bay Area, they both would be linked to from the West Coast map).
The trick is to do this using maps (geographical maps) and combining them with HTML imagemaps (clickable images, where different portions of the image link to different pages.
I need help with putting together the project from end to end. The deliverable would be the different pieces of code that we could paste in static pages to be linked (ultimately linking to the appropriate Group pages). The main static page would be linked from a visible place in the home page.
Obviously, there would be visible credit displayed for whoever helps with this. We cannot offer any pay, but we can include a link back to your web site or portfolio if you so want to.
I can help with this, most definitely. It’s relatively easy image-mapping, actually. All one would need are the maps, and the locations they’re supposed to link to, and I’d be able to take care of the rest.
I am working on something similar for iPump (click on states to who we have helped and where our donors are from) and am otherwise incredibly swamped. But if you get no one else to help when I am done with my own mapping project perhaps I can help some.
