Thank you all for contributing to this subject. At the moment I am trying a few things out, – you may look up under maps now, and see my first attempt. This is in fact almost the same as what Tom suggested regarding google maps, – but of course not a map in which everyone can add themselves.
However, I also – as webmaster – fear a little bit loosing control 🙂 … I had a little bit troubles doing the google map right, and I worry about someone who would even find it more difficult than me, – and theres a bigger risk of something going wrong if many people have to ‘edit’ in it, I would worry about that. It also means that people wanting to use it would have to have a google account. I dont know about this in general, but I have never really felt comfortable with google accounts, – its a little bit confusing to me. Thats probably just me. I have about 3 google accounts, and I am not sure why I have so many, and which one is for what 🙂 …
A second thing, is regarding how much information should be written. My experience with forums etc is that when things like this is created, it needs to be updated – in particular when it comes to what kind of species one has. It may easily change, and then we would hope that everyone would always have to remember to update this map as well, – or else it will soon become ‘old’ and not so useful.
If people have to write to PP – they will get very updated information, because we always have the latest census to go by, and in this way it might be more accurate.
And thank you to Nathea for offering some assistance on the website – that could become very helpful.
