That is something I have always wanted to do - awesome. 
So would we have to pay 30euros per member if they don't have a ditto log? Or 
can we get away with just the ground station and lower prices? Specifically 
here I am wondering if you can use a ground station for private members with 
FLARM, and a ditto log for club gliders.

Mind you this doesn't really cover SAR, since you don't have logs when not at 
home. So we still need integrate SPOT.

I like the idea of having these as services (ignoring issues of privacy and 
security for the moment - there are solutions there later) - a service where I 
can ask if a plane has landed (e.g. ditto log - direct or flarm, XCSoar or 
other tracking); or if not, where they last were (XCSoar and other tracking if 
via GSM, or SPOT data if not).

Simple GET REST API with glider registrations would mean I could integrate data 
from multiples sources onto a single screen.

RE: Security - it is easy to have a service which requires authentication, and 
then have it so pilots can "opt in" to allow data to be give to that service, 
similar to how you would approve apps in Facebook.
