What I've been mulling over is the "home location" data on the<br>
profile. Right now it's close to useless. I'd like to be able to set<br>
multiple areas (not points) and rate them "can survey / good local<br>
knowledge / particularly interested". <br>

It is worth thinking about who is mapping in your own community and whether you are working to involve neighborhood residents, do offline outreach, etc. at home.</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Thanks,<br>Eleanor</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div></div></div>
