some relevant links: 1. smaller picture by Kevan Davis - a group attempt to recreate a typeface http://typophile.com/smallerpicture/ here you are allowed one decision per letter and you cannot change the whole letter on your own. 2. MappaMundi Magazine a collection of interactive maps http://mappa.mundi.net/map/issues/ It would be good to keep an archive of the development of the map over time.
