Yes, i've read about this, and i think that it's worth logging too
much data than not enough...

I've looked at opencellid.org website, and couldn't find any
information concerning the database, how can a user access the data
for example...

That's a good point, but for example, yesterday evening i've uploaded
lot of data (about 5 hours sampling every 10 seconds, while moving by
boat along the coast), and now i would like to reuse these data,
exploit them, plot them, ... with existing web application or by
writing my own tool, the API offered by cellhunter doesn't really fit
my needs that's why i want to have a look at OBM's API.
Do you know how often CH is imported into opencellid, and how often
opencellid are imported into OBM?
Cheers,
Chris
