All,

One of the first things is a name and introduction. The NYPL site goes with:

>The New York Public Library presents
>Building Inspector
>Kill Time. Make History.

My initial idea is to use

>Make your mark on history with the
>Historic Map Marker
>An OpenHistoricalMap project.

We will also need a new set of images. These are available at the following
site. Feel free to send in your ideas.

Regards,
Rob
