[Cu-wireless] NetStumbling map..

[Sascha Meinrath]

this is excellent -- my only worry is that i've seen a bunch of
pictures/maps, each with different data.  we should work to create a
standard system of information archiving and display.  stephane, since
you've been putting in the most time and energy, would you be willing to
formulate an ideal system for collecting and displaying wireless
networking info so that we can combine our efforts?
