Hello, I'm finishing up a module to interface with the Ekahau location sensing system, and I'm trying to figure out a good top-level namespace to put it in. I felt confident people here would have opinions. :)
Ekahau is a system that provides location estimates based on a vector of wireless signal strengths, a large set of training data, and a proprietary Bayesian-like statistical model. My module interfaces with it using their own protocol, which runs on TCP and smells a little like XML. I'm tempted to release it as simply Ekahau::*, since a new toplevel namespace seems to be the preferred place to put interfaces to proprietary systems. I considered Net::Ekahau, but it seems plausible to me that Ekahau could release a version of their software that communicated over IPC or a serial port, so I think that's not a great idea. I considered creating a new topleve namespace LocSys for location-sensing systems, but that seems premature, since I don't see any other modules for interfacing with these sorts of systems, and I don't plan on writing any more myself in the immediate future. So: Does anybody have any objections to a new top-level Ekahau namespace, for interfacing with proprietary equipment from Ekahau? ----ScottG.
