[Ovmsdev] Open Charge Map

[J-C Saint-Pô]

Maybe people use their ovms usercode to write changes & comments to ocm to
an cooperationg ovms server
This server writes the changes & comments to ocm as "OVMS-user-submitted"
Maybe give ovms users possibility to choose to submit directly to ocm for
submitting more ample info
And use the "via-ovms" for basic changes or submissions
All will depend on how much load you want on the ovms-server

(suggestion submited by someone who only knows the basics on computers &
co) ;-)
Kind greets
JC
