Is there a web page that gives us a list of what is left to do.
We are going to have a SOTM for Scotland in October and I would be happy to
help out georeferencing the maps, I can also put it up for a SOTM-Scot project
Cheers
Bob

Subject: Re: [Talk-GB] Historic Maps - Can you help?
I've used the NLS maps a lot and wish there were more maps from England
available. Obviously this isn't a priority for them but would happily help in
anyway I can. I have looked at their online georeferencer but almost all are
done.
It's a shame the English equivelant aren't as open.
