@shunsader, continuing with the needed fluidity in the development of this initiative, I decided to show the “brick-by-brick” construction of the wall. The main reason for this is to give everyone feedback and only show those Local Guides that have followed the conditions of participation. Simply put, if a Local Guide that has expressed interest to participate but has not provided information required, they will not appear on the inaugural wall.
Talking about fluidity, you will have seen that this concept started with a (10 x 20) to (20 x 10) wall of 200 Local Guides and finally down to a (10 x 10) wall of 100 Local Guides. I have also changed to Connect usernames on the hover tooltip. It will eventually all settle down. Tell me, how are we going so far?
One problem that I foresee is non-unique avatars like the following.
Yes she has been very patient, sometimes explodes and well noted is that her patience is running very, very thin 
Against this background, my main disappointment is that I have not had the time to make enough Maps contributions to keep up with everyone and also to write posts on Connect about my travels as I used to when I first joined Connect [e.g. Photos of a Different World and A Lisbon Street with a Story!]. However, it is personally very rewarding to motivate others and seeing them excel.
