The excellent book 'Map Addict' muses about the ultimate 1:1 map quoting from a story of 'exactitude in science' from 1946 as follows: "and so the College of Cartography evolved a Map of the Empire that was the same scale as the empire and that coincided with it point for point... succeeding generations came to judge a map of such magnitude cumbersome, and not without irreverence they abandoned it to the rigours of the sun and rain' I am sure that Potlatch 2.x will never be abandoned to the rigours of the sun and rain (even if Potlatch 1.x does meet that fait ;) ) A thoroughly recommend book. The only heath warning is that the guy loves the Ordnance Survey and can't bring himself to even mention OSM - he nearly does but clearly OSM is not a proper map to his mind. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Map-Addict-Mike-Parker/dp/0007300840 Great work Richard.
