[dev] Weather/Metar Block

[Jason Lohrenz]

 After talking to my users I know they'd prefer the second to what is
currently implemented.  They said the current has too much technical info
and they would just like to have a nice forcast...etc.. to view.
With the different information that each of these produces, Couldn't the
Metar one be associated with Aviation Info or something, and then the other
with Weather?

Just 2 cents...or less of an opinion.

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
