Thanks for the comment. I didn't intend to say that Atlanta would be the first or only showcase city. There are obviously a lot of those already, although fewer on this side of the ocean. And the process is the same: Local groups and volunteers. Glad you like Mapzen. Feedback is always welcome, good and bad. Hi Tom. Thanks for the comment.

Just a quick question: which countries will this team be working in? I ask for two reasons. First, just to see if it will happen in the UK where I live! And second, because you might want to be careful about saying *you* are going to map a showcase city when lots of other loose volunteers and groups have created showcase cities all around the world, as found on bestofosm.org for example. I think you guys are great, but you could help smooth things over by saying you'll create *another* showcase city, or a city that showcases some particular new idea. Oh, and Mapzen looks great, good work! That sounds very sensible! Just a quick question: which countries will this team be working in?

Cloudmade is a UK company, and so you should be using the british term: "made redundant". "Dissolved" sounds too much like the scene with The Cleaner from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_of_No_Return_(film)" rel="nofollow">Point of No Return</a>.
