The Walking Papers people have already offered to send and accept maps by postal mail. See Mike Migurski's blog here: http://mike.teczno.com/notes/2009/ [quoting in part] Each print and scan action is also backed by a (possibly optimistic) promise to snail-mail printed maps to users, and to accept snail-mailed annotated maps in return. If you want to play neogeography pen-pal or simply don't have a scanner at your disposal, Walking Papers can help. [ end quote from Mike's blog ] If I remember correctly, at SotM2009 Mike said that so far nobody has asked for the postal mail service. Now, a political question. Is there postal service between USA and Cuba? Perhaps an off-shore version of Walking Papers is required?
