Tara, Yeah map needs to be landing page... The downside to just grabbing some of our existing code and running is it isn't what we ultimately want. The upside is it is something to start conversation that works and is real and functioning. Our original concept is actually something along the lines of wurkers, wurkspaces and wurkups. Where a wurkspace is a co-working or wurker friendly facility. A wurker is someone looking to collaborate with others and a wurkup is the intersection of wurkers and wurkspaces. We have several other items on deck, but if there is expressed interest I can try to put this higher in the queue.
