I'd rather see collaboration with www.wigle.net rather then adding
Access Point information to the OSM DB.
After looking at things like the Dupe Nodes map and KeepRight, I'm
much more interested in cleaning up the existing dataset rather than
adding new stuff to it, especially if there are lon

I a first time, it would be nice to have access to the Fon database.

And to tell them to use OSM rather than google map !
Who is a Fon member in the OSM community ?

I think you would need a separate database for the collection.
Then every week or so you have a rule that estimates the access point
location and says where a few people have seen this network, and it has been
seen recently, then add it to OSM and update your db with the OSM node id.

+1, I also encourage you to put them now. If we find out in some years
that they're all gone and nobody eve
I think putting these on the map would be a good thing. I would like
to see them on the map. They should be identified and there should be
an application that removes stale ones (part of the job of the app
that adds them).

I think that public access points are reasonable for the main db. It would
be a lot of effort to set up a separate system, and they are only nodes
after all. We do include bus routes after all, which would also be
candidates for a different db.

It's sometimes a tough call what belongs in the database, but all open
access points seems to me not to fit. It certainly seems like a good
candidate for a separate database also under a cc license.

Why not? It can be dirty expensive to use 3G when you are abroad.

I think WiFi are too temporary a feature to be added to the main OSM
database. Why not keep it in a seperate project database?
