[OpenDesign] Hello!

Hi,
there are many different ways to achieve this, Ushahidi for example or I 
can do it with Drupal. However, if our only need for the moment is to 
map participants, probably it would be better just to look for a 
Wordpress plugin than another application..

There are many plugins for this, but this one looks very good: it uses 
the Leaflet javascript library (an excellent and new one!), it can use 
OpenStreetMap, we can export KML, GeoJson and other formats (even for 
AR). There is also an option for visualizing a map as fullscreen (so 
then we can embed it on other websites through iFrames).

What do you think about it?
