To my own knowledge, that was not only within freifunk the case, but also regarding ninux and guifii … </div><div><br></div><div>IMHO it is much better, that community members maintain their data themselves, cause they know what is true and are the latest updates :) It is a matter of, how much you can rely on the infos … As we have happily grown, we had also to face more trolls in all kind of shapes. Also it is better not to be too much dependent on third parties … </div><div><br></div><div>On top this API offers a lot of fields and a dataset others have used as a basis to build free apps on. We made very good experiences … From my point of view it is also a research tool.</div><div><br></div><div>As you know, it is all open to reuse and even contribute to the API.</div><div><br></div><div>But as I see, we cannot convince you … that’s a real pity.</div><div><br></div><div>All the best, Monic</div><div><div apple-content-edited="true">
