What we can offer to the project is our free Windy API (api.windy.com)
With no further knowledge of JS, can replace IMHO obsolete Google Maps API and use Windy visualiser on Blitzortnung pages
-------------------------
Note that DATA access and usage is limited to Operators, as stated above....
I am not sure we could become the operator. We have asked few years ago but we are located in Prague, where there is plenty other stations. So far we could become donor and donate to project on a monthly basis.
The project may not represent commercial interests.
This we fit
It must be of general interest for the participants of Blitzortung.org.
Well who decides this? Of course any 3rd party website that will use the data, can potentially damage main website traffic.
It must be different from existing projects. Do not just re-implement other projects.
Do not setup yet another visualization of online data.
Well we would like overlay lightning strikes with real weather radar data in US an EU (and wherever we will find open radar data), which can be quite interesting.
All applications that use our data must be freely accessible.
Yes windy.com is
The source of the data must be clearly identified.
Yes this is doable
The operator must prevent any possible misuse of the data provided, as far as this is possible.
The applications (web sites, apps, ...) have to retrieve their data from a separate server and not from the servers of Blitzortung.org. All data remain under the CC-BY-SA 4.0 license.
Yes this can be achieved
