I like the idea of making Corner Corner the full source of all multinational
tripoints.
There are still a lot missing, and I think we can all make Corner Corner
better if we all join in.
But how do we start? Chaotic? or organise? What if we take 3 or 5 specific
corners and we all research - internet, library books, maps. My Danish
travel books may not contain the same information as your American. We can
try to chat up some people in Egypt who knows somebody, who knows somebody
who have details on his local tripoint. If we work together this is great,
and I am excited about the mission. Let's make that book on every tripoint,
a photo, a description, a history etc.
