groups to work with
Don Park
most use to the most people and avoid reinventing wheels.
1) wigle.net is already a huge repository of cataloged APs. why create
geomena when wigle exists? unknown: how editable is wigle? is it
possible to copy wigle's db as a whole? partial answer: wigle has no
W3C geolocation API (which modern browsers can use). geomena does. We
should discuss this further with Wigle people.
2) opengeospatial.org - use standard formats like KML and microformats
as much as possible.
3) dataportability.org - best practices on how each user can
export/download/publish their data

so don are you thinking openness more like http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/ ??
documented API, option to download the whole db. Looks to have a sort
of GPL license.
Thanks for the other links, I'll check those out also

Yes of a similar vein. I just looked over WURFL. Its a database of
different WAP browsers, showing the capabilities of each browser
software package and version. Thats different from geomena but the
openness is the same.
