Version 0.7.0

[CaptainSpam]

I just pushed 0.7.0 out to the Marketplace. Sorry, Thomas, I didn't
get the wiki features worked out just yet (I've been busy at work
recently), but that's next on my list. If anyone else wants to poke
around with the wiki features, check out the SVN repo. Right now, it
works the way Thomas has it.

Enjoy!

No worries. If I had had the time, I would have merged the code
myself. ;)

Really, the main thing I'm doing is cleaning up a few things here and
there that you might not have known about, this being your first time
with Android and all, as you said before. :-)

There's also the minor fact that I have to find a good way to test it
out without dumping all sorts of stuff all over the main Geohashing
wiki. I might have to install MediaWiki on my test server to do it,
but that shouldn't be a major problem.

This is very cool. I'm wondering if there will be a future feature
that will allow you to post (somewhere) that you will be at the
location, and be able to see how many others have done the same?

Great idea.
The best place to do that currently is to send a message using the
(soon-to-come) wiki features. This will create the expedition page
using the default template (unless it exists), and add your message
("I will be there when at the first light of the day, yadda") to the
expedition report section.
Actually the best place to do that is the participant list section in
the same template. Basically, we would have to extend the "send a
message" dialog with a checkbox (or a default behaviour) that adds
your name to the participant list when you send a message.

To query the current participant list, you might just the existing
"show expedition page" button. It has to be fetched anyway to query
the participant list.

Well, there's also the fact that the main web map (http://
irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/) has this very obscure feature where you can
click on a meet point and answer if you will or won't be there (plus a
feature where you can suggest a new point, but I find that entirely
against the concept of Geohashing to begin with, so I'm not bothering
with that). That's just a simple yes/no thing, though. I guess that
would be possible to implement if that data is somewhere public.

I do prefer the wiki method you're describing, however. That seems
cleaner, more descriptive, and more flexible.
