Due to the current work load of the developer, it is unlikely to start with the implementation of the enhanced database scheme before summer 2014; therefore, there is enough time in that perspective to discuss the OpenCellID database evolution briefly.

The following table contains the list of potential additional fields of the database according to the current status of the discussion.<br>
 
Please update it each time you introduce a discussion about a new database field.

This page including its sub pages is intended for compiling all ideas on how to expand the information stored in the OpenCellID database.

The following data base tables are currently discussed:

Please use the "Discussion" page of each of the above sub pages for discussing the various ideas and concerns on this subject.

The plan is to keep this discussion going for a few weeks and decide what to implement when it becomes obvious that no additional new information is contributed regarding thess topics.
In cases where there are different opinions regarding a feature, a vote similar to the votes in OpenStreetMap, which is a proven mechanism, will be initiated.

Due to the current work load of the developer, it is unlikely to start with the implementation of the enhanced database scheme before summer 2014; therefore, there is enough time in that perspective to discuss the OpenCellID database evolution briefly.
