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,
