Hi, Harry - I'm not familiar with John's efforts.
I offlist for a few years.
A couple of members started the ball rolling and I
followed through by establishing a Google Earth based map on
Frappr.com
Many of us had thought off and on about where
exactly and what exactly the others were up to. We all could have kept our
own lists (I certainly don't have the time) or we could just stick pins and
upload a few pics on the Frappr map.
Judging from the feedback I've been getting (I'm
the host of the PSUBBERS Frappr site) it's a hit.
As well as the Frappr site, we will soon have
access to my new KODAK IMAGE SHARING site.
It's simply a visually oriented (I'm an
ex-photographer) album based site that offers the added advantages of being able
to order real photo prints in varying sizes, stickers, mugs, etc. We've had bad
luck with our old Moki Exchange. It was time for a new beginning.
And no, I don't get a kickback from Kodak for
referrals!!! Most of these images don't belong to me.
Hope this helps :-)

Rick,
I think I must have
missed the previous posts regarding this map and pin system. I remember John
Farrington compiled a list of all the members with a small description of
their work and arranged them by where they lived, is your system an updated
version of this?
Harry

Frappr update
Would you like to
show others at a glance where you're at in terms of your
submarine building enterprise?
You can now change
your map pin colour to match the stage you're at, even better if the pin stage
matches the info you've given in your callout. As most of you know,
clicking on a pin causes a callout to pop up.
Updating your
callout to match your pin colour will give a very quick idea to those looking
for help where to find it or what stage you'e at.
For example, my pin
is now white. That's the paper/model stage. A newbie at the
beginning of the learning curve would have a blue pin (blue sky idea?)
Current owners, for example Bill or Carl, would have green
pins.
If consensus shows
that the original pins are more appealing I'll return to the orange default
setting which is the current one.
You can find the pin
legend at the bottom of the map.
