    • name suggestions? “Grassroots Mapping Forum”, “Grassroots Mapping Reader”,
  • online archive feedback from C4 meeting, lots to do

    • permalinks for map views - scroll to one location in the map, and embed just that view
    • new view template for a full-screen embeddable map, that reads the hash permalink
    • timeline view (maybe just for nearby maps) that loads other layers
  • remove zooming/scrolling in /maps
