Hi jmb,
We don't know what new uses for the data people will come up with but we're
excited to watch it develop. I would imagine in the next couple of days
somebody will run it all through Tippecanoe...
Can't comment on other countries right now, but we're ambitious. As the imagery
and models improve we may have subsequent releases.

Thanks Jubal, this looks like fantastic no-nonsense work. Seems like it might
be wise to wait until after the Milan conference to see if a recommended
workflow will emerge to begin putting these footprints to use.
Any plans to publish data for other countries? How about quarterly diffs?
