both of those ideas are really cool. I'm not sure how into GIS(geologic information systems) you and you members are but QGIS and GRASS are two open source (python based i believe) GIS suites. these could be implemented to have realtime foot traffic data or for the wifi. Be careful with wifi mapping though, google got in a bit of trouble for recording signal strength while collecting street view data. -Andrew On Apr 5, 2013 7:48 PM, "Persa Zula" <[email protected]> wrote:
