  1. In the question "I want to download imagery of the entire Earth. What do I need to know?" worth mentioning the size of pixels for entire earth. and how long should one expect it would take for tiling it.
  2. Give a FAQ question on how many tiles would be generated based on a particular tile resolution. Example formula - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wFwk9MnAQOMlmMvZudQOzyYTlYTuvmTH7s2GKvxnDP8/edit?usp=sharing
  3. Give a FAQ question on what happens if the tile is slightly over the edges of the image, how are these edge cases handled. Is it generated or ignored?
