When I stated that neither us nor openmoko did get an answer, I should have written: "If I recall correclty openmoko tried to reach opencellid, but I have not heard of any response. We tried to contact opencellid, but got no response." I personally have not tried to reach you. But Nick yes, without answer, for what I have understood. > There is more than 100 000 cells covered, with 5.5 millions of > measure, and more cells will be "donated" soon.

Good to see there is no client for openmoko, otherwise I may have worked for nothing ;-) > I've been running this project since more than one year , with an > objective to push community efforts around cell id.

For my part I work on the client side. A logger/uploader. I guess it would be easy to modify it to upload to your database if we go that way. But for now, I think it would be good Nick (who takes care of the server side) and you keep discussing, in order to evaluate a possible merger. As there are also plans on embedding the database on the phone, and using it to locate, I would like to know if this part would interest you? Or only the server side and upload? > And as a reminder, the complete data base is available for download. > > So if you have any question/interrogation, feel free to share them with > me so we can clarify this. > > Regards, Great we can move along. I hated this feeling of reinventing the wheel!
