I've thought of taking that job on myself; all the underlying data is in the public domain. But the task is really pretty overwhelming.

If you do, drop me a line. (So many projects, so little time...)

I was actually under the impression that obtaining the data required to generate this map required a special arrangement with the Defense Meteorological Satellites Program (DMSP). If there was a regularly-updated source of raw data, I would be willing to write some sort of import program to process it into an image or map-layer.

I have to admit that I have a form of programmer's attention deficit disorder: it's much easier for me to attack a new challenge than to maintain & improve a working program... ;-)
