A Qt app (the GUI) would be quite portable to Windows and OSX... so this wouldn't necessarily need to be a Linux-only project, either. So even if non-Linux users are interested, they might be able to work on the project as well...

I know of a guy who has built his own mapping engines and put together location data from public sources. He's pretty busy, but he might at least be able to shed light on certains topics if needed. Shannon Larratt has built many location fetures into bmezine.com and it's sister sites. He's also recently gone Linux and runs Xubuntu on his laptop. He's been moving to UNIX from Windows for a while. He's done some really nifty custom work, including a worldwide location mapper, etc.

I mentioned that we could start an open source mapping project in the IRC channel a while back... I'm still interested if we can find enough developers and mappers to make it worth the effort.
