Hello, and bouncy greetings from the tall, fluffy magical towers of Pupunen
developments. Recently the map location data utilized directly or indirectly
by all BatMUD(tm) map implementations, including Batclient realm map, has
received a fair share of changes and updates.

Many of these changes have been normal updates and corrections, additions of
certain old locations that have been missed until recently. In addition, the
internal storage format of the location data has been revised to version 4.0,
which now enables us to include new metadata about locations and the
wizards/coders responsible for them.

This newly introduced feature, which enables the data maintainers to flag area
names as "original" or "in-game", and coder names as "original implementor",
"converter/recoder", etc. is still somewhat experimental. More exactly, the
representation in our front-ends is bit undecided.

Thus I am asking for feedback from YOU, the users, how to present this
information on the map pages - this includes my own maps (http://tnsp.org/maps/
) and Jeskko's Google Maps-style map (http://jeskko.pupunen.net/map/).
Currently the presentations are rather simplistic, you might actually not even
notice them ... I urge you to try, tho. This is why ideas for improvement are
requested here.

Send ideas preferably via mud mail, or perphaps tells, to undersigned.
