Reading here is a great first step. We also suggest browsing our blog, visiting the Google+ community, or getting in touch by submitting feedback through the site. We occasionally host online and in person meetups where you can interact with other mappers and see how people are using the platform. The story continues to unfold, and we'd be glad for you to take part.

Are you making money from it? Do you plan to?

The Metamaps.cc project has been bootstrapped through our own pockets, lots of time, and more recently, a couple of small grants which are going into supporting our small team to bring it to the next level. Some of us have used Metamaps.cc as a tool for our own freelance consulting practice, and we are looking at creating hosted and customized instances for different clients as one potential business model. We realize that in order to get the free and open public platform to where we want it to be, we have to be able to support ourselves to continue doing this work.
