1)  Four cheers for accessibility: four methods of adding to the data pool (tweet, email, web, mobile).  That's excellent because it lets people contribute via whatever means they already use rather than being excluded by a platform/app barrier. 


2)  If you find the page doesn't open or the title bar blinks, check your security settings:


a)  With security turned up to 11:

In Firefox 19.0.2 for MacOS, it doesn't open at all (blank page), and in Safari 5.1.8 for MacOS it attempts to get it as https and then the address just blinks weirdly without opening. 

In Firefox 3.0.15 for EEBUNTU (Ubuntu for EeePC) it doesn't open at all (blank page).

In MSIE for Win 7, it opens to show a page where a map should be, with six red circles of various sizes that zooms in and out, but has no map under them, and it shows the list of items under "Reports". 


b)  With security turned down to "something less than 11":

Loosening up my settings to allow cookies including third-party cookies, and selectively allow scripts specifically "c683652.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com" and "www.openstreetmap.com" appears to get it to work.  But per Firefox cookie report, I pick up three cookies along the way: crowdmap.com and hackerspaces.crowdmap.com, which appear innocent enough, and "tracker.ushahidi.com" which appears creepy ("tracker"?!). 


c)  So what I'd suggest is, if you have two browsers installed, use one of them on which you feel safe loosening up your security settings, and then clear it and restore your normal settings when you exit.

Please add more reports (choose at least one):
(a) tweet the address and details (e.g. a phone number) @sudoroom
(i) You can also set up twitter to post via text message to 40404 if you don't have a data plan with your phone--ask me for details! ;)
(b) send an email with the same info to info@sudoroom.org
(c) use the web form https://hackerspaces.crowdmap.com/reports/submit
(d) download a mobile app (though the new android app crashed for me >.<)

You can also help by:
(a) Calling some of the existing listings, coordinate by replying to this message!
(b) Offering to review old listings that might still be available!
(c) Trolling Craigslist and other websites with spaces for rent / lease.
(d) Contribute to this spreadsheet Romy set up: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Amu8QvJOCyfkdFRkMnFGblJ3MzZDNFNRSS1MQzRBalE
(e) Organize another bike-about to find more locations!

The crowdmap platform released a new version of their software today, but we can use the "classic" mode likely through 2013, with options to migrate and such before then.

I have backups just in case, and we can back more data up as we add to it.
