I'm not sure why but even with PS installed "Network" location provider never returns anything.

A user-installable package may be a good option?
> We want a robust and secure local implementation respecting the OS security model for location providers. We'll need to set up generating databases for different regions, signing them and hosting them on a server. A new client needs to be developed for this.
Maybe you are not aware, but isn't "GSM location provider" doing exactly that?

I guess you should create some kind of a FAQ entry explaning your relationships with Calyx and other distros. For a random person who just tries to find a good solution for their needs all these in-house dramas are pretty obscure and demotivating.

You've mistaken me with someone. I'm a passerby. Something is wrong with your perception. As I said before, I have same traits (I'm an Asperger and I had some depression-alike problems) though I've learnt to keep these traits more or less under control. Maybe it's a good idea to seek an advice.

I posted a comment saying "there is also DejaVu location provider which is used by Calyx". I don't know why you think I did somehting wrong, I'm sorry if this bothered you SO much.

I'm not attacking you anyhow, I think that your project is very good and in many aspects superior to other projects, though as an end user I found it somehow inconvenient because of the NLP issue. Moreover I'm really impressed by your work on sandboxed PS. Nothing more.
