USER location in Views??

Hey together!

Is there any current development inprogress to integrate USER location-data in views?
The great location_views module does an excellent job regarding the integration of node-locations ... however, often you (well, at least i ;) need to integrate - and later proximity-search - the location of the user who posted the content.
Example: a Skill- or Equipmepment-Database build with CCK, location and views, where Skill- or Equipment-nodes are added by each user and listet/searched via a view. There you need to display and proximity-search for the user's location - not a node-specific location (since not a single skill or equipment has a - maybe changing! - location, but it's user).

KarenS has built an excellent proximity-search into the location_views module ( http://groups.drupal.org/node/929 ) - something like that for an imaginary module userlocation_views would be great, too.

I don't think integrating the user's location is much different, however a first test to alter location_views didn't work (i have to admit my knowledge about devloping for the location or views-module is not that deep ;)

So ... is anyone working on some kind of userlocation_views integration module??
Is there a need of it besides my example (which is an actual need for me)?
Or are there suggestions how we could start development on this module?

Thanks,

Daniel
