I have no idea what's going on between you people but:

Now that I had a little thought, I really don't care how many copies
of the database we have. All I care about is that

a) there's a way to use the data (=a client capable to locate me based
on the GSM cells around me)
b) the client uses the database with most cells.

-> as long as all three projects have proper API's to import/export
data and they do it from the other 2 projects things work.

It kind of makes sense if the projects use different ways to collect
the data. One has it as a competition, one uses some clients to
collect the data, another uses other clients and projects. And in the
end they all benefit from the work of others.

Just some points for you to discuss:
a) common api or data format to import/export
b) common api to submit cells


r - goes out to find some cells

(no, not really, I'll watch an episode of CSI :)
