Nodes are not shown on the map when no update occured for 7 days. They
will then deleted by a maintenance script (which is in the works). So
just leave the node unchanged for a week and it will disappear. Nodes
should be updated daily. I plan to visualize (by color) how long a nodes
has not been updated.

Absolutely! Do you want to push the 'real' data to the normal (non-dev)
api [1] so they appear on the main openwifimap.net page? It would be
really nice to have it filled with nodes from all over the world. :D

cheers,
André
