Nobody knows at the moment which of those projects will keep on growing or stay alive. And as mentioned already in this thread there a dozens around the web at the moment. Each with its own API, storage format, etc.

The right way to go I think. To depend to much on one of these projects would be wrong. I think it would be nice to build an API into
opencpn, then test it with some small server. Let these web based projects develop an interface if they like. I would not like
opencpn to be bounded to only one of them! If we find don't find a good server based system we could use good old serverless P2P.
