Hi Ramy,

Facebook, for their own reasons, have been trying to discourage the use
of Share in favor of Like, but I see your point. I, myself, prefer the
share button as I feel it also displays content better on the Facebook page.

I will change all the content related posts to a Share button.

The OLC has created a huge potential for gliding through the daily competition that takes place. But personally I welcome a bit of competition for the current OLC. I believe that our flights could give information on the areas we fly in. And in the current OLC setup the files a slightly less accessable. Also I would like my own flights always being rated in the same way.



So what do we now have next to the current OLC?

I like the interface that you guys have prepared. But also the clean layout of skylines looks refreshing.

The Brits went their own way. http://www.bgaladder.co.uk/Enquiry.asp The BGA has a wonderful tool to select the type of glider and to see how the other people have been doing with the same ship. But also clubselection is possible.



Finally the link to the French version: http://www.netcoupe.net/main.aspx



Within the gliding community we have a number of organisations. Wouldn't be great if one upload of our files would be shared between the platforms we could pre-set? This would still allow for diversity and for th different developers to play with their own ideas extensively before seeking compromises from the start. Maybe crosssharing between skylines and crosscountry could be a start. And with a BGA selectiontool implemented as well I will upload my files to this platform.

One more comment if I may:
Instead of using the 'Like' for facebook, I suggest changing it to Share from couple reasons:
1 - Share is more suitable than Like for sharing, and behaves different.
2 - The Like defaults to public from some reason even when your setting is for friends only, as a result the flight is publicly showing on the facebook profile page. Not a good idea if you called sick and went flying.
