[OAM-talk] Draft technical proposal for OAM

[Schuyler Erle]

With apologies to basically everybody, I made the utterly typical
idiotic move of staying up until dawn because I had too much on my mind
to be able to sleep. This particular evening the topic was OAM.

http://wiki.openaerialmap.org/Technical_Proposal is the fruit of my
insomnia, and I am fairly sure that anyone who doesn't fall asleep
reading it will find something to be outraged by. Fortunately, I
consider this the hallmark of a potentially sound proposal.

I especially want to apologize to Paul, whose ideas I cribbed
mercilessly (without being sure to what extent he's cribbed from mine in
turn, or vice versa), but whose very helpful document on etherpad I
totally failed to properly integrate into this stub of a wiki page. I
sincerely hope that someone will correct this oversight.

Basically, I just had to get this out before I got caught up going round
in circles on this fine mailing list and went mad. I really hope it at
least gives us something a little more concretely implementable to
debate.

Please please please go edit the wiki page if you have *any* thoughts on
the subject, or else please air your grievances here and we will have a
go at them. Thanks much to everyone who responded to my original email
and/or is still paying attention at this point. ;)
