There's lots of interesting things we could do, but I doubt Bill has the
time - or the inclination - to do many of them.  In another list I'm on,
plenty of people maintain their own sites and databases related to it,
with the home page simply linking to them.  Keeps the load down on both
the server and the list-owner.

If anyone does want to do this map thing, then you could do worse than
use the map magic from http://bath.pm.org/map/.  I'm quite certain that
Leon would be happy to release the code if he hasn't already.
