Dear Alasdair,
I do not think that the authors of the space syntax wikipidea entries are
anonymous (as you seem to imply)...
Would you like me to run a query on this list for wikipidea? There are
messages on the archives from a few months ago discussing it...
Re Depthmap, I'm not going to argue about what it is SUPPOSED to do!!!
All the best,
Rui
