So although not exactly in the spirit of the project, this is something I would find useful to allow me to install and test the code without having to setup a twitter account and hunt through he privacy settings to prevent posts which contain my location from being made public... would this be possible and/or significant amount of work to implement?

My plan is to overhaul the tracker and modularize it. The tracker would be separated from the twitter code. Then it could be easily used for an assortment of apps, Twitter, email, video, even other things like smart mirrors, or whatever people want to add themselves. I saw that @patmont already has made a cool app that does text to speech when ever anything goes overhead. Modularizing it would make it even easier for people like him to implement new apps.

The only problem right now is to find time to do it. I'm swamped until at least the end of February.

Sounds good and certainly no rush from my side as helping out with the ADS-B Receiver project and working to finish up the 2.6.0 code is taking up what little time I can spare, but hopefully once that is released that will make it easier for folks to install your script :)
