[Skimmertalk] DRAFT E-MAIL: RBN Needs Programming Help

We are in need to some web programming helpto add some features to the 
RBN web site and correct some weaknesses. One project, for example, is 
to add a dynamic map showing the RBN nodes ("Skimmers") that are 
on-line  currently or have been recently (say within the last 30 days).  
We have a prototype that displays these on a Google map, based on a 
static table of stations and their grid squares, but would like to have 
one that is dynamic and based on the Detailed Nodes list on the RBN 
website.

Another project is to get rid of some of the weaknesses of the current 
live map, which was built on the old Google Maps API. Again, we have a 
prototype that is fairly far along but just needs a little clean-up and 
integration with the RBN's quasi-real-time spot flow.

Basically, we think this needs PHP, Google Maps API and Javascript 
(especially Angular.js) skills.  Anyone out therewho would like to help?
