(...) Well, it's the best place I can think of for them, working from the assumption that lugnet.admin.database is the newsgroup for postings related to the LUGNET Guide. That assumption is not actually supported by the charter but no existing (...) (20 years ago, 16-Nov-06, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.admin.general)

(...) lugnet.admin.database doesn't seem to be a discussion group. The charter says "Set listings, theme/set/element datafication & esoterica, etc." To me that sounds primarily like a data dumping ground, although I suppose discussion of that data (...)

(...) Hi Dan, IMO, "real" maps like maps.google.com, local.live.com or www.frappr.com always look somehow unsightly. They're good for setting places on a very detailed base, like showing residences of club members etc.pp. But for a rundown on LUGs (...) (20 years ago, 14-Nov-06, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)

This map really is a leap forward, Rene, thank you. You've included a representation of the North British LEGO Train Club on the European sub-map, but this doesn't reflect on the wordwide-map, where the blue pin for Europe is missing.

(...) Yah, I dislike these messages as well. Especially when there's no updated - but even when there are some, they should go to a statistics group, or some new group - but not in an actual discussion group. Just my $0.02. (20 years ago, 14-Nov-06, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.admin.general)

The problem is, if a page starts with ~nnn then the server can easily tell that everything after the '~' is part of the FTX page name. But when you hang a page off an actual (...)

(...) Perhaps use the Google Maps interface? I know it's possible to place arbitrary pointers on it (with a popout for more details, websites, etc). Should make it easier to update too, as the data then just becomes an XML file. Dan (20 years ago, 13-Nov-06, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)

(...) The day I started with the new maps and when I designed the pictures, I wasn't aware of the large number of LUGs, MUGs and LTCs. I thougt it would result in a similar number as on the old maps.
