&gt;<i> Country/city can already be done with localityName and countryName, but no
</I>&gt;<i> schema seems to use it so far.
</I>
Is this complex to add

&gt;<i> Having in ldap would be convenient as this permit us to manage from identity.
</I>&gt;<i> But I think a country/city is maybe not the most convenient to store
</I>&gt;<i> information about location as we may have hard time to convert this to spatial
</I>&gt;<i> coordinates. And there is no ( AFAIK ) schema to store coordinate.
</I>
We could centralize the Country/City info in LDAP and have a separate db to map
this to coordinates (there are geocoding services that we could cache the
result from - it's only about cities, so that's not hugely extensive data to
store).

Otherwise, yes, having a dedicated small db for this would make it. Do we need
more than these two relationships?
 * user lives in place (or even places but that makes it out of LDAP I think,
let's keep it simple)
 * place has coordinates

&gt;<i> Storing this in postgres would be nicer from a dev point of view, as postgis is
</I>&gt;<i> a quite powerful extension to postgres. Spatialite could be used for sqlite
</I>&gt;<i> too.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Using some nosql db would also be a option, but I do not know what exist for
</I>&gt;<i> that.
</I>
I don't have specific knowledge about the best backend for this. So far, I can
just envision the end-result (interactive map + find my neighbours query by
group) and the user info filling.

(In reply to comment #6)
&gt;<i> Another solution would be to add a field for Country in mageia phpbb3 forum
</I>
I would keep this out of the forum:
 * doesn't require a user to sign in the forum to record this info;
 * so we can have simpler, dedicated/optimized queries for extraction.

A small separate app can make it.
