We are in the midst of researching options towards a tool that maps arts events and activities in Victoria for people with disabilities. Options are:

• Create a unique customised tool;
• Implement custom features using off-the-shelf and open source tools;
• Utilise existing tools and services and aggregate them into a single website.

Personally, I’m keen on the third option. It’s the least expensive and wouldn’t require users to learn a new interface. As such, I’m looking at Google Maps and how this can be integrated into a simple web application for both search and data entry.

Unaware I was being video-taped, I was amused to find my talk at the DIY Video track at iSummit up on YouTube… this piece includes other presentations which were all quite amazing in fact!
