I understand. I'm torn, though, on which way to go. Metars provide good current
information and display the dew point and cloud accumulation at various
altitudes (good for pilots; too specialized, maybe?). EJSE (and
InterceptVector before it) provides an extended forecast, with high/low
temperatures and pretty graphics for anticipated weather conditions. I have
working implementations of both, and have both displayed on my portal page. If
I had to choose, I'm not sure which I would prefer.

I was just about to submit the EJSE block to the list. Should I scrap it, or
post it and see what the consensus of the core developers is?

Thanks
