Weatherunderground Suggestion

It would be great if you could add reporting stations from http://www.wunderground.com/ - Since it allows private weather stations to be monitored, it would be much more accurate then using METAR codes. I, for example live 30+ miles from the closest METAR station.

I agree that that would be great - but as their rules say you can use their data as long as it's not for commercial purposes i don't think wunderground-data will be integrated in the near future.
But maybe you can help us convince them to provide their data - or the data of the private stations - for mention them in the status line?
Maybe as YoWindow grows and becomes more popular it's a kind of advertising for wunderground if they provide their data.
Similar to the existing line "weather provided by yr.no and the NRK" or "weather provided by the NWS" as it is currently.

So all the guys and girls outside: please help the YoWindow-team and write mails to wunderground and ask for their data (or the data of their private stations) to be delivered to YoWindow!

Please - please, email to Weather Underground.
Just ask them to open weather data for YoWindow project.
I you have emailed them, comment on this thread, so we know how many people asked.
