File talk:The Neverending Wiki - First Map.JPG

If you expect people to repeatedly edit this file to add more and more detailed annotations, you most definitely need to change four things:


 * 1) Don't store it as a JPG file - everytime you edit a JPEG, you degrade it's quality a bit.  After hundreds to thousands of edits, it would mostly be mush.
 * 2) Start with an INSANELY high resolution image - leave plenty of room for details to be added.
 * 3) Set up the scale of the map.
 * 4) Show how it fits onto a planet.  Make sure you understand map projections, etc.  If you travel around this world, can you go from the left edge of the map instantly over to the right edge - as you would on a map of the Earth - or is this some kind of flatland where you can 'fall off the edge'?

These things need to be established at the get-go or it'll be a mess later! 66.137.234.217 04:44, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
