hmm, i like the idea by panda, and would like to take a continent if possible. it would be best to post the different sections, all cut from the same map, so they can all go back nicely.
I wouldn't mind north america or africa.
EDIT: as for das's idea, I can't think of what could be a better map. if there is, then it will be a different projection...and in my opinion, robinson's is the best one (many think mercator is good, but imho northern sections look way too huge).
