Just an interesting item to be aware of when using the speedtest option in the firewall web interface. The speedtest function in the web interface measures the speed of the network at which the browser is located, not where the firewall is located.

I am slowly working on a tracking program. It is setup to track a lot more than just scout advancement. Right now it is to early to setup a source repository or a formal project. If I can get to the 0.9 stage I'll be happy to share. The license I plan to use is GPL v3. The base concern I have is to ...

How about listing how you consider to be the base requirements for the package. Do you want to limit the package to just scouts or do you want to include YW, Duty ot God, Adult Scout awards, Primary awards and other programs? I'd like the program to cover things like trip permits, permission slips, ...
