>> I can help you with preparing your project for the US Tasking Manager. Ian Dees, can give you permission to create an account. I recommend running a local instance to make sure your geojson is working correctly. Once a project is created, it can only be archived, not deleted. I've had trouble in the past getting the correct format for the geojson resulting in having to archive some attempts.
