Evergreen: if you're conducting a training where you're asking a group of people to register with WiGLE.net:
1. they'll have newbie limits because they'll have just made new accounts
2. you should REALLY contact us ahead of time.
We want to help, let's work together to keep your students from being mistaken for a bot farm.
We <3 user contributed changes for the https://github.com/wiglenet/wigle-wifi-wardriving/ app - this being said, we've instituted a contribution policy: https://github.com/wiglenet/wigle-wifi-wardriving/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md
Remember, we have to maintain and fix this code going forward, so please keep changes targeted and clear!

I was waiting for the “passing on your left!” call, and there it is!
Kudos to #50 #truemarmalade - kicking ass in the big board once again!
No matter how often we post these, we still have days like today:
- If you're going to instruct a whole classroom to register at once, contact us beforehand.
- If you don't like new-account limits, registering more accounts isn't going to go well for you.
- WiGLE is a community, we ban jerks.
For the first time in almost 3 years, we have an updated F-Droid build! https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.wigle.wigleandroid/
The headlines:
- adds vector maps via MapLibre (bring your own URL/key)
- fixes outdated certificate transparency checks
- all the latest features and fixes
