Making a Map Database?

Wikd Thots - thanks for the suggestion.

I believe Gandalf's stuff is still up - I know he has, or recently had maps there.

I've been talking to ParadoxHarbinger about wikidots, and think I might be able to get something going with that. I'm in the process of moving in real life, so I've been slow on this project, but I am hoping to post somehitng by the weekend, and would love feedback.

Okay....

I've created a website that is meant to collect and provide feedback on maps. I hope a lot of people create posts on this system, I think it provides a nice way to disseminate a list of custom maps.

Please give it a look-see, whether you want to download maps, or want to upload and get feedback on your maps. I have posted a few examples and the maps I have made, but the site is only useful if other people post their maps as well!

Thanks,

Posted mine, it didn't look evident, but in fact it's ultra easy : just copy-paste the code in "Sample Map Posting" in a text editor, replace the text and links by yours, then copy-paste the result in the good forum and it's done.

Rock on, thanks to Twan and vfb for posting maps already and for everyone who said they would soon.

I'm moving this weekend, but when i come up for air again I'm going to make some changes to the site structure - so people can go ahead and use it or upload stuff now, or wait 5 days, and I'll make some changes.

Ok, didn't think of using a hosted Wiki installation. That's a good compromise, I think, as you don't have to take care about the updates and security and such. On the other hand, you might miss some features. Right now the only thing missing is content, though, just like promised...
