RE: [ushahidi developers] map popup modification

Question: isn't it redundant to show the name of the city? After all that's
why we have the map. I liked having the title, and maybe several titles if
we have several items on the cluster, until items > n, when you show the
total number, or -even better- the last m reports, indicating there's a
total of n.

Maybe we are hitting the mark where the ideal solution depends entirely in
what we are using the instance for. When you have an implementation in mind,
you develop a sort of tunnel vision (by experience!). Maybe this needs to be
a configuration option, or an "easily modifiable" part at implementation
time.
