I am working on an OPAC feature to display graphical overhead maps and I would
like to incorporate this into the existing Koha 3 codebase. 
The idea is gleaned from NEU library and would work the same way with these
exceptions:
•     Allow many/different image types or content links: 
        gif, jpeg, png, flash,html, etc.

•     Have a specific link for “find it on map” or “map it” 
         – something like that.  

I am looking for suggestions for ways that would be acceptable to the Koha
coding community as far as where to store the data and where to link it.
It would seem one could enter link data using the existing authorized values. 
In other words, create a new authorized type “maplinks” then allow Koha
administrators to put in any content they want much like the existing icon 
system. 

In addition, a sys-pref is required to turn this feature on/off should be 
present. 

Any ideas, thoughts, chance for inclusion. I want to work with the Koha coding
community to mesh this as nicely as possible. What would be the best way to
proceed and what would the release manager like to see. I am aiming on
finishing
this project by Summer 2009.
