Extensions to WeeWX

Use extensions to add capabilities to a WeeWX installation. Drivers enable WeeWX to collect data from various sources, services collect and emit data, skins contain the templates for generating reports, XType extensions add new observation and aggregation types, and uploaders transfer data to online services.
