When the map had a few dozen people on it, it was pretty easy to view and maintain good information in it, so I encouraged lots and lots of people to add themselves to it. Unfortunately, what worked well with a few dozen people works poorly with a few hundred, as it only displays a subset of the users at a time and it's easy to accidentally mess up the markers. I'd like to find a better way for Lisp people to find people near them than this Google map, but I haven't come across anything yet. Zach

That's not how it looks to me. When I look at the second page of Clojure users, there are far fewer on the map. Zach
