Ok. I'll do the competitions committee page tonight and put in the information you wrote in the threads about iron mapping and I'll put Paul on the committee. I hope Diana will join us!

I would then make a new wiki for Competitions Committee, which would run the map gallery and potentially the iron map. I would put me, Jeff, Diana if she's game, and what about you, Keith? On the competition committee. I will then move the kids map gallery page and make it a part of the regular map gallery.
