-The mapping community seems to be recovering after a slump in 2006, with a solid stream of new maps starting in 2007.  The last maps that really impressed me were [[http://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/kinn_marcher.html|Marcher]] and [[http://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/warpspasm.html|Warpspasm]], partly because they seemed to be pushing the boundaries of what Quake maps could be.

-It's hard to say.  The 2007 mapping resurgence makes it seem like the community could just keep going, especially with some of the newer mappers picking up the slack.  But if mapping doesn't progress in some direction, it might fade away just from stagnation.  That direction might be into more limits-breaking maps, or maps that rely on mods such as quoth to keep their content fresh.  We could also see more experimentation into gameplay tangents such as [[http://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/cogs.html|the stealth/puzzle map that speedy released recently]].
