It is worthwile to upload ALL of your IGC files, no matter how old.
Some people have been uploading their flights from the 90ies. *We want
this project to become a huge IGC file database, which will be used
for ideas we havn't even come up with - for example to generate a
thermal map.
Unlike the OLC, SkyLines data is freely available to scientific
projects (and everybody else). *The OLC has been blocking scientific
research for too long, and we hope that we can crack this unfortunate
monopoly.

Tried to upload a long flight (time wise) and was not able to..."413
Request Entity Too Large"
Yep, got the same message when I tried to upload a large zip file. So meanwhile I am uploading only recent flights.
So far looks great. Few comments:
1 - Flight time is wrong probably not taking into account flights which cross UTC dates, which is often the case in the US.
2 - No US clubs.
3 - Will be nice and easier to spread the word with a facebook/tweeter share button.
Thanks,
Ramy
