If the map is going to be anonymous by default (which I think is what
Mike was suggesting) I'll gladly ask my clients and the members of the
local PUG for their locations. I agree that it's a great advocacy tool

well as the largest medical practice management systems vendor for
their larger sites. The southern bit of Africa should certainly not be
