Couldn't have asked the question any better myself. I've worked with the
Echolink and IRLP managers to create an XML file that is generated
periodically on their respective servers, which I pull every 5 minutes or
so, parse, and then update my internal DB. If such a file was available
for WIRES or AllStar, I'd happily include it in AVRS and make the nodes
available on the node map (currently http://www.aprs-alert.net/nodes.html )
