    I reckon allowing unused maps to locate is a great idea. Oh and I'm not expecting for anyone to wait for my tile - if you got some good ideas and you wanna stick it down on my map then plan where you want to put them. I don't think it would be good to have the small scale stuff on a separate map tile. I like terrain but I'm kinda keen to get to the villages and cities. I have been doing a lot of terrain for about a year now.

    I'm all for people bringing pre-made maps fit contextually. There must be hundreds, if not thousands of maps hanging around these forums that are just crying out for a context. Bring 'em on I say/

    I've been lurking these threads believe it or not...And I'm wondering if a Wiki wouldn't be warranted. I do have some limited experience setting up Wiki and as long as someone moderates it and account creation is limited (similar to how Pyrandon's world is done) I'll set it up.

    I was also thinking about using a google map API to view the world...but that will require a little development on my end...I'll see what i can do...I need to know if A) you guys think a Wiki would be useful and not excessive, and B) Who wants to moderate and manage accounts?

    Yes definately, and No, not me!

    Both Industrygothica and Baziron have put there hands up for the record keeper post so they should get great help from a wiki.

    As for the next level, I think mapping should start on the smaller scale items immediately - towns, villages, cities, etc etc. I don't think that we should open up wider regional maps, because there is already a massive area to be mapped. I think that people should definitely re-purpose maps that they have created.
