+= Alarm lists =
+
+== Idea ==
+I asked myself a couple questions:
+
+* do the alarms need to be bound to POI after all ?
+* how to easily add an alarm without making a POI ?
+* how to make it easy for users to add many alarms at once (eq. with a script that generates them from a list of speed-limits/whatever) ?
+
+== Result: Plain-text alarm lists ! ==
+The alarms would be just stored in one or more plain-text files, one alarm per row with CSV notation.
+
+Row notation might look like this:
+{{{
+lat;lon;elev;distance;enabled;name;alert
+}}}
+
+{{{
+51.178844,-1.826189;230;200;1;Stonehenge;Watch for the stones !
+}}}
+
+=== Explanation: ===
+'''lat''' - latitude in decimal format[[br]]
+'''lon''' - longitude in decimal format[[br]]
+'''distance''' - trigger distance[[br]]
+'''enabled''' - 1 = enabled, 0 = disabled[[br]]
+'''name''' - displayed name[[br]]
+'''alert''' - any string other than BEEP or SAY would go directly to text-to-speech, BEEP triggers some default alarm sound, SAY: says whats after the colon (so you can SAY:BEEP :D)[[br]]
+
+=== What about elevation ? ===
+If you don't want the alarm to take the elevation into account - just don't fill it in. :)
+
+Example:
+
+{{{
+51.178844,-1.826189;;200;1;Stonehenge;Watch for the stones !
+}}}
+
+=== How to add new alarms ? ===
+There would be two ways: editing the alarm lists from the outside (just create a valid list and modRana will be able to use it) or interactively inside modRana (create new lists, add alarms from map/poi/coordinates, enabled/disable alarms, activate/deactivate alarm lists).
+
+== Implementation progress ==
+Not yet started. :)
