Should we consistently adopt British English in all repos related to go-cart.io?
Currently, cartogram_cpp uses US spelling, whereas the website uses British spelling. Our target audience is international, and our main sources of data are international organisations. The United Nations recommends adopting the spelling in the Concise Oxford English Dictionary (see https://www.un.org/dgacm/en/content/editorial-manual/spelling); thus, much of our data is likely to follow British spelling. It would feel more consistent if we adopt the same rule.
