Paul and I tried our own map at linuxcnc.org but keeping it up was a
real PITA.  OTOH I've seen our content drift through a number of
different services while they tried and failed to find viable business

I keep wishing that someone would invent web software (wiki-map) rather
than web service (frapper, google, mapquest) that would let folk self
edit their locations/infos.
