1   Q: What is the "No Locality Left Behind Project"?
A: Quite simply its a personal initiative based on spectregunner's "Strive for Five" program with less lofty goals. Not seeking a predetermined number of sites, just looking for at least one good one.

2   Q: What are the goals?
A: Simple. Find a locality on the list (or on your own) which currently has zero listings and try and find 1 or more quality/listable sites to populate it. Don't stop at one, try and find more but there are no quantity limits.

3   Q: What about deeplinks?
A: Quality deeplinks are ok (within the editing guidelines). Mainly focused on good quality, deeplinks can be very useful for these tiny categories. Just make sure there is good content. Some Wikipedia links I have found very informational.

4   Q: What is the time frame for the project?
A: There is no time frame. It should/will continue until there are no more sites or in the unlikely event that no more US localities are showing zero listings. Then we can move on to other countries. :)

5   Q: Who can participate?
A: Anyone who wants to. As a matter of fact, if you want to start one in your own state and you don't see it in my list let me know and I will create it and give you access to build it.

6   Q: Any other tips, comments or suggestions?
A: Just have fun with it. Finding those gems for small little localities is one of the great things about being an editor in Regional. There are no winners or losers except those that want information about these localities and haven't been able to find it.
