[Incubator] Terra Draw

Tue Sep 10 08:55:32 PDT 2024

 James,

Minor feedback fixes:

   - Do you have a project team picture you could provide?
   - Maplibre --> MapLibre
   - Love your screen snap - but you may prefer a more real world example
   to be viewed as functional 🙂
   - Tools/libraries based on: you could list Leaflet, MapLibre and
   OpenLayers as mentioned in your text?
   Context: It is hard to show the value of infrastructure projects like
   libraries as they are not visible to end-users. The more we can mention
   them the better job we do in communicating their value. That said I do not
   see suitable images uploaded yet for Leaflet and MapLibre
