Good point.
I think it's a nice idea to be able to analyze issues like this one
further: #614 <https://github.com/mozilla/MozStumbler/issues/614>.
What do you think would be a good container for exporting the database?
An encrypted zip archive? Should the user be able to choose the key?
Two issues where this has been covered partially:
#3 <https://github.com/mozilla/MozStumbler/issues/3>
#597 <https://github.com/mozilla/MozStumbler/issues/597>
Should there be a method to import such databases?
Is there a good way to compress the database in the internal memory? (to
save space, like mozstumbler is doing it for uploads (compressed using
gzip))
Regards,
Felix

I notice Wigle stores its sqlite db in a public location, is there any reason
we don't do that for stumbler? If someone has a db problem, they could send the
db file for repair, or they can use this file in ways that are independent of
our app if they so choose to do so.
When I am developing on the app, I switch the storage location so I can see
what is happening on the db side, I certainly find it useful.
I’ve talked to Garvan a bit on IRC. To repeat this here:
Our current assumption is that the database contains very personal data about
the user. It’s a detailed track record of where someone went. So we want to
prevent any other app on the device to get to this data.
We’d also like to avoid backing this data up or sending it to any other cloud
service (like Google Drive / Dropbox) in its plain text form, as that would
potentially allow these services to get to this data.
That said, it should be possible to export the database from the device. But
this should be an explicit user action, where the user decides when and how to
share this data.
