[MLB-WIRELESS] informing members

[James Healy]

evilbunny..

i used the nodeDB issue as an example to illustrate the benefit of some sort
of regular, standardaised (is that a word?) form of updating members on
whats going on..

I've seen the nodeDB on sydneywireless.com, and it's brilliant :-) However,
i think running 2 nodeDB's at the same time is just gonna confuse n00bs, and
for that reason I've refrained from entering my details in your one :-)

Not too fussed, cos I know ours is being worked on... :-)

Hello James,

Have you seen my implementation of a Node DB?

Based on the brismesh Node DB code and I setup a DB to cover melb
because people liked the idea of elevation cross sections which a guy
from WA helped me to code etc... Still working on a page that will
plot all points onto a single map, apparently the mapblast data has
weird projections *shrug*
