So, I hate mailto. I can't tell you how much, because the English vocabulary is inadequate to describe how much hate I hate mailto links.So, I had a form made. I hate the form. It works just fine, but there's no way to add an attachment.Have y'all explored any other approaches? Perhaps found a form that does the job well?See More

Jody Benedict replied to Svend Holst's discussion University Campuses and Google Mapmaker"1. I didn't have any issues with this because I just forged ahead wildly and published things and changed them again afterward. It took many weeks for my revised campus boundary to be accepted. When it did finally go live I didn't notice…"
Svend Holst replied to Svend Holst's discussion University Campuses and Google Mapmaker"I totally overlooked boundaries. Thank you.
I'd like to know how to add discrete boundary sections as well.
Be happy to trade approvals as well.
Cheers,
Svend"
April Taulbee replied to Svend Holst's discussion University Campuses and Google Mapmaker"I've got to resurrect this thread! I've just started working with Map Maker and hope to release all my draft edits soon and am happy to trade approvals with someone.... Jody, help me out?? ;)

Jody Benedict replied to Svend Holst's discussion University Campuses and Google Mapmaker"The other think I'm trying to wrestle with is the categories. They're weird and mostly useless. There's no category for "academic building" but there is a "ham shop" category. I ended up just adding most of our…"
Jody Benedict replied to Svend Holst's discussion University Campuses and Google Mapmaker"Sure. I do have some polygon errors in mine because some of the stranger reviewers asked me to correct things in a wrong way and I just did it to get my building on the map. My thinking was that it's better to have the building show up than to…"
Svend Holst replied to Svend Holst's discussion University Campuses and Google Mapmaker"The approval process is a bit annoying. Correcting existing map features has been my bugaboo. Perhaps we can help each other out by reviewing each other's campus maps. Not just to approve, but to help check categories and other issues, such as…"
Jody Benedict replied to Svend Holst's discussion University Campuses and Google Mapmaker"The one thing I am worried about, with using it as our main map is that some of the approvers and other people out there have "fixed" some things for me a few times in some very creative ways. Nothing malicious, they just didn't make…"
Jody Benedict replied to Svend Holst's discussion University Campuses and Google Mapmaker"Our campus is all at one address too, so as soon as I saw that this was available I started adding buildings. All of them are showing up now except for one, which is pending approval. Sometimes the approval process is a bit frustrating. I…"
Kris Martin-Baker replied to Svend Holst's discussion University Campuses and Google Mapmaker"One of our main issues with Google Maps is that our campus is all at one address, and they didn't show the individual buildings. Since we've started putting them in, they are showing up really quickly. Thank you for pointing this out!!"

Personal vs. Organization Facebook page
Hey folks,
Looks like Facebook recently changed the procedure for converting personal pages (like many schools set up their initial Facebook forays) into organization pages.
http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php?migrate
Improved, but still not seemless.
Cheers,
Svend
