Hi,

At this time I do note have the time to submit the data because I have
to finish my master thesis until mid of may. But after that I promise to
upload new cellhunter cells periodically. At this momemt there are about
40000 cells with over 2000000 measures. At least germany is covered very
well.
Congratulations, that's very good! We are over 10000 cells, without
logging neighbours, so direct comparison is biased ;-)
There is much work which is duplicated between OCI, CH and OBM:
* KML, etc... map on the website
* the website by itself
* the promotion we do to get new users
* the server code
* the client code
I will talk from my part the client code. I know you have little time
right now for a collaborating project. But I think we have much better
to do than duplicating this aspect. If you would agree on coding on the
same soft, we would save a lot of time. I am thinking about
internationalisation of the code, etc...
From my side, I think the only thing I need to be sure, is would you
accept code which reduce the amount of data, in preference of quality
(no log in a call, no log when too high speed, etc...).
The time saved could allow to start other platforms support (Thomas
there is no Android client, right?).
My motivation here is only the will to prevent duplicating effort. Let
me know what's your opinion.
A FSO approach for getting cell information should query opencellid.
Perhaps Thomas should think about to transfer the db to a faster server
I have some troubles sometimes to reach the site. Perhaps we should set
up a mirror at the openmoko servers or something else. But these should
be problems for the future.
I disagree here. The database should definitely be located on the phone
itself. Which does not diminish the interest of a Web API (for mashups
of all sorts). Advantages:
* privacy: you get your location without involving third party
* efficient: no problem of server scalability, lag, etc...
* no need of a data connection
* update can be done from time to time while connected to WiFi/USB etc...
Onen
