If you think you can help out with something that’s in the list below, contact us!

  • adding a route option
  • connecting to the last.fm showlist through their API to automatically update venues (first get venue and next get venue events)
  • creating mobile apps (imagine being able to use GPS!)
  • cleaning up code (hey, I’m messy as hell, just w3c this mofo)
  • ‘suckerfishing’ the ‘where to find’ menu in the sidebar
  • creating a ‘sort-menu’ above the entries so you can sort on area, best rated, or other
  • helping me fix the rating hehehe, can’t get GD to work
  • create a set of banners (we had some requests for them already

Most urgent matters that need to be resolved:

  • something wrong in IE7 with the layout, I can’t find it. If anyone can create an IE7 stylesheet…
  • Help with ‘translating’ the information entered in the ‘add a location’ form to google maps (we’re doing that manually at the moment) found someone who can fix this
  • Creating icons for usage on the maps (bar, venue, festival, hotel, restaurant, etc) someone is working on it
  • validating addresses in the ‘add a location’ form (just heard this is probably not wise since Google Maps doesn’t recognize each and every location)
  • checking for doubles upon entering information on the “add” page fixed!
  • using the information from google maps to categorize on area (it’s now being done manually with WordPress categories)
  • just like “related posts” we’d like a “locations nearby” added
  • organizing a second search category; in stead of based on locations, based on type of venue fixed!
  • help us validating & moderating posts, adding (nice!) images
