Talking of Marble, I've had recent conversations with some of the devs about exposing the pan/rotate/zoom controls through dcop (for external scripting). This is now done in svn, but I haven't had a chance in the last week to play with it - but it might be nice for exhibitions etc to be automatically animating zooming around the world and in on different places. I've already found demoing the cyclemap at exhibitions to be more attention-grabbing when done using a globe rather than a flat-layers interface. Just food for thought if anyone has some time.
