Interesting idea... ;)

On my SketchMap page, you can now mark your maps as "public" (so that anyone 
can draw on them), or allow a list of other users to sketch on your map, and 
things like that.

I've set this one up so that anyone who's logged-in to the sketchmap site can 
draw areas of flooding onto a map of the Gloucester area:

So yeah, if that's the type of mashup that would be useful, try it out... 

Refresh the various pages in your browser if you want to get other people's 
latest changes. (you might need to do shift-refresh or similar, so that it 
gets the latest copy of the image)

Again, this whole "everyone can sketch at once" thing is still a bit of an 
experiment...
