That's not a bad idea, but then you're volunteering yourself to maintain it.
No matter how easy it is, it'll always be easier if we can have something
automated that maintains itself. Trust me. When we were trying to get ideas
where to have the DML national meet, I was collecting people's locations and
making a map of them. I had it fairly well automated, but it was still a
hassle keeping track of the e-mails and putting them on the maps, then
uploading them whenever I got a new e-mail.

This new site appears to use Google maps, right? Does it keep track of itself
with minimal intervention? That would be pretty cool, IMHO. Where was this a
year ago? :-)
