I would be fine with people modifying my maps I upload to a database, as long as I also get credit for it, and they do it good.

yes, IMHO the map server should thus have an explicit "credit" feature, you fill out.

And a score card, who got the most credits

catpaw, do you mean kind of policy which will permit or not things to do with maps?

A license that allows, a) at least an infinite non-exclusive permission for the mapserver to host this thing (this should be a no-brainer). b) An allowness for anybody to download it, and use it on his server and also redistribute it. c) And an allowness to make modifications(improvements) and to be able to give it to others.

I don't think there have to be big controls, just like in wikipedia, they tell you all you content you enter there gets under their open license. If someone else tries to give what he doesn't own (which he cannot), you just delete it, if the real author(s) complains to you.

cc-by-nc-sa http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ would do okay i guess.

Good idea.

Maybe it would be a good idea to combine it with that flash based online map viewer.

Oh and it would be a good idea to have the uploader agree to some open-sharing license like cc, gdl or anything. Or else some idiot may come again and make again a hugh discussion what someone can do with the map downloaded and what not.

@Dani, I once hosted every single map ever posted here pre Teeworlds 0.4.x. When the editor suddenly got supported and the map auto downloader was implemented and supported, I did no longer see a real need for my database. Also, I didn't have time to keep up all the new maps suddenly flowing out.

You know, once upon a time, custom maps were pretty hardcore ^^

No, I think you should keep going. However, I think you should expand your repository pretty fast, or it will die.

Once you have added most of the current 0.4.x-maps, people will come and upload their new maps on there own.
I still have people downloading maps from my map db for 0.3.x, and as far as I know it isn't even linked any longer
