The ongoing maintenance of this repository is provided by volunteers. When requesting an account, you will have the opportunity to request administrative privileges for specific geographic areas. Please be aware that we may need to limit the number of editors in order to encourage editorial consistency; therefore, not all requests for administrative privileges will be granted. Training is required for all editors, and those who participate in the maintenance of this repository must work collaboratively with their co-editors to facilitate co-operative and consistent data maintenance activities.
