DonPark and AdamShand are thinking about ways to create a SQL/LDAP/XML/something schema which a community wireless group can use as a universal data collection point. We're trying to catalog everything we can think of that we're going to want to store in it (yes we know we're doomed to failure :-).

• Don, it occurred to me that it might be worth checking out the NoCatAuth SQL schema (etc/nocat.schema in the tarball), they had originally planned for it to be more then just the auth server. -- Adam.
