Hello all,

I've been reading posts to this list for a bit now, and I would like  
to put out a request.  I trying to put together a website that  
displays vector outlines of US forest service roadless areas in need  
of conservation on top of road and satellite maps.  The vectors  
already exist in shapefile format, and I think that this could be  
done easily as an overlay on google maps using the google api.  I've  
seen some of your members' success in doing similar things, however I  
am not a programmer.

I am wondering if there is someone out there who might be interested  
in volunteering to help do this.  The shapefile has many different  
vectors in it, because it covers the entire US.  So I am thinking  
that it would work best to upload the data into a mysql database and  
query from that - however - like I said - I'm no programmer.

I'd really appreciate any help that anyone out there might be able to  
give.

Thanks very much,
Nelson Guda
