I attempted to set out some of my past thoughts / experiences with
wireless network mapping, and the work that Saul and i did last year:
http://frot.org/devlog/2006/07/16/the-state-of-wireless-mapping/

I'd love to get feedback on this, and hope to go 'back to basics' on
wirelesslondon's overstretched codebase and build things specifically
directed towards working with others' projects (hi, Mike!)

I've heard that NYCWireless have been commissioned to do a
netstumbling survey, that could fit in pretty well with a
resuscitation of Drew's wifimaps project, and look forward to hearing
more about that, too. :)

cheers,
