Technical skills and inclination are not enough. You also need 
considerable server side muscle to create a dedicated map.

The standards for acceptance by the casual user have grown enourmously. 
A year ago, the main maps were re-rendered once a week and that was 
cool. Now they are updated daily/minutely and somehow people expect that 
from _every_ map. Weekly updates are now considered lame. And less than 
full world-wide coverage is lame, too. :-[

Most people are not aware of the server power required to do this. It 
ain't cheap, and getting support on a sponsored/community server takes 
time and effort, too.
