After the original change a little while ago to switch to a
player-oriented map choice rather than an admin-oriented map choice,
I've not had any particular intention of doing a complete map switch. 
Partly due to the time involved (I -always- pre-play a map before
putting it up to the server, even if only by walking it through myself)
and partly because we're -really- low on disk space atm.

I like the idea of adding maps in, even individually, and I hope to make
that more of a reality now with having a dedicated server (IP and domain
name were sorted today - not up yet though as I'm considering options to
do with server power (I might be able to donate stuff to the server, and
we are looking at providing it with at least another 32MB of RAM)). 
That's kinda what's been happening already, a while back.  It all comes
down to my time, obviously, and I think that's what Dave was coming at
from a different post here about NFS mounts and limited access map list
uploads for "trusted" peoples.

I like the idea.  Please can someone find me the time to execute it!? 
I'm going to be up in 3 and a half hours to go into work to do some
maintenance work, for instance...
