Dear Tino,

I can work on the wiki page, which can serve as the basis for others putting
in the geo coordinates on the atlas ..

if you, or others, can go through in batches of 50 through
http://delicious.com/mbauwens/P2P-Urbanism, P2P-Architecture, and
P2P-Cities, and say select the items you deem worthy, then I will enter them
in the wiki, and then we can fill in the atlas afterwards,

any body who has batches of bookmarks in delicious or other systems, are
also welcome to send them to me for further processing on the wiki page,

I'm willing to add 5 items a day, which would quickly scale if we are
consistent,

Michel
