Version 1.1 is due out soon which we hope will reduce the amount of page loads, user interface problems and general bugs. There’s a few new features, but nothing to rave about yet.

Those demos are pretty cool. We should probably think about using one or two AJAX libraries to implement some cool user interface stuff like you’ve demonstrated.

I think the major problem with getting a hacked router on the University network would be getting their permission. If you can do that I will be amazed. But, doesn’t that mean that you could only login when you were near the router? Or… would it connect to many of the wireless access points on campus?

We’d be happy to have you help us out… email me or the liveUgli team with some times you are available to meet.

Have you guys considered making liveUgli AJAX-enabled? I hate to say it, but it really is a must for the jargon-hunters and Web 2.0 wizards. I’d be happy to pitch in a couple of hours to help with that.
I’d love to see a streamlined interface without page reload times. Let me know if you think either of these two prototype interfaces would work well:
-http://bluebus.be/bx/
-http://bluebus.be/bluebus/

I’d also add that although it might be a bit more effort, it would be pretty smooth if you used a hacked wireless router to track who was where. The router would be jacked straight into the UM backbone running OpenWRT and would report when a new client connected and authenticated through cosign. This way, the process would be entirely automated and could draw from the LDAP database on the uniqname for user information. It would be live, already populated with data, and as simple as putting up a sign indicating that you could connect to this SSID if you’d like to be listed.
