[MLB-WIRELESS] Thinking outside the box

[Tyson Clugg]

Hi folks,

In case you've just become involved with Melbourne Wireless or you've been
living under a rock, I'll introduce myself.  My name is Tyson Clugg and I'm
the current webmaster for Melbourne Wireless, I used to be president, before
then I was treasurer... I'm sure you get the picture. ;)

I've had a number of suggestions made to me for improvements to the
Melbourne Wireless website over the past few months, and I've come to the
conclusion that there are too many things distracting me from being truly
productive in the short to mid term.  So, I've decided to prioritise,
recruit and discuss options to ensure my own workload and that of other
Melbourne Wireless coders is not too burdensome, and to ensure that
Melbourne Wireless moves forward in a cohesive and productive manner.

In simple terms:
What is the number one feature you wish to see implemented on the Melbourne
Wireless website right now?

Do you know any accomplished application programmers with PHP & SQL
experience, who are willing to donate at least 2 hours per week of their
time to Melbourne Wireless?

Which services should Melbourne Wireless be offering via the website to help
grow the network in the long term?

Here are some of the website features that have been requested so far to get
your creative juices flowing:
* Elevation diagrams between specific nodes
* RDF/RSS feeds to/from other sites
* Clickable nodes on the maps
* Email notification when a node is created/updated within 5km of your node
* Signal propagation maps
* Street names on maps
* Private messaging via the website (eg: Whim on whirlpool.net.au)

I've dumped a copy of this email on the wiki to serve as the basis for
in-depth discussion, please feel free to chop and change at will:

Tyson Clugg.
