image maps on photos linked to persons

Sourceforge Req#2212380 By @myselfhimself

Hi,
I'd propose the possibility of adding rectangles on any photo & having them linked to any person's page from the database. In the zoph interface this would be mean having some image map editor, that would be inserted for instance on the photo editing page.

The database would store for each photo : if it has an image map, where the rectangles' corners points are, as well as for each rectangle the id of a person from the people table.
On the viewing/user side, clicking on some photo's image map rectangle would raise a popup containing the page of the person in the rectangle our would open that person's page in place of the current page...

Given that Zoph is under GPL, it would be nice to have some almost ready image map editor application in the same or a close license.
And that is the case ; Adam Maschek and other people have developped such an editor at http://www.maschek.hu/imagemap under GPL.

I would propose that the image map editor be integrated into the photo.php page and an field be added in the mysql db's people table (I have not explored the db yet but I expect therei's such a table).
The field that would be added in the DB could contain : values of rectangle's corner with corresponding person id.

I'm volunteering for making that as well you (submitting patches for the beginning).
