Mapmill.org currently in development: wish list: https://github.com/jywarren/mapmill/issues - exif data - sort by time, sort by rank -connection to /raw datasets for each map in the archive, upload once and done.

Knitter currently in development: masking wish list: https://github.com/jywarren/cartagen/issues - rotate only, apart from rescale only - activity notification (split second feedback, letting user know to wait for tool to complete current task)

Archive currently in development: wish list: connection to knitter, but how? export to archive?
