I would recommend making email visibility optional, and setting  
previously collected email to invisible. The new public email  
addresses and info could be put in the KML file and a Google map  
displayed.

A page that accepts a query parameter and produces a list of all  
developers near a given area would be nice. It would accept a lat/long  
or a text string and use Google geocoding to convert to lat/long. Then  
I could add a form on Getting Started: Enter your location to find  
other KDE contributors near you.

I am volunteering to do any/all work herein.
