Global Weather Collection
Instead of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ sharing its information, how about doing it the other way around. Create an application that will save local weather conditions back to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ centre, based on data gathering equipment at the users home/office. For example Maplin used to do a small kit that had a wind speed, wind direction and temperature sensors, that connected to a standard PC, and there are other companies that produce similar hardware. It could become a Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ school project and given that many people now have broadband and computers that stay on for much of the day (eg Media Centre PC's), it could become a really massive & worldwide project, as the only input a local user would need to provide would be a location. Enough sensors within a given location would allow for errors & mistakes.
