<x-tab> </x-tab>While I
like the idea of being able to identify and possibly do imports for
one-kilometer-square (why not miles?) chunks of the map, I think it needs
to be accompanied with lots of cautionary language about assessing the
area thoroughly before taking any such action. We could give people
examples of what to look for to see if the area really is a TIGER
"desert," and what to check before making a move. <br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>May be it
would be better if a group of squares are identified using criteria set
up by the Data group or someone similarly experienced. Then, the square
kilometers could be presented in a Maproulette kind of format, but with a
chance to choose which one you take on. That way, you could choose square
kilometers that are near where you are working anyway or near areas with
which you are familiar.<br><br>

- kill water somehow<br>
- Information density at low zoom levels implies that basically
everywhere is green. But you zoom to the bay area and see this isn't the
case. So, change the coloring? Modulate it by population
density?<br><br>
