Done so far:

• Prepared the JSON object:

If ACKspace is open:

{
  "api":"0.11",
  "space":"ACKspace",
  "logo":"https:\/\/ackspace.nl\/ACKspace.150px.png",
  "icon":{
    "open":"https:\/\/ackspace.nl\/icon\/open.png",
    "closed":"https:\/\/ackspace.nl\/icon\/closed.png"
  },
  "url":"https:\/\/ackspace.nl\/",
  "address":"Kloosterweg 1, 6411 VM Heerlen, The Netherlands",
  "contact":[
    {"phone":"+31457112345"},
    {"sip":"sip:31457112345@sip1.budgetphone.nl"},
    {"irc":"irc://freenode/#ACKspace"},
    {"twitter":"@ACKspace"},
    {"email":"contact@ackspace.nl"},
    {"ml":"info@lists.ackspace.nl"},
  "open":true,
  "status":"open for public",
  "lastchange":1320586506,
}

If ACKspace is closed:

{
  "api":"0.11",
  "space":"ACKspace",
  "logo":"https:\/\/ackspace.nl\/ACKspace.150px.png",
  "icon":{
    "open":"https:\/\/ackspace.nl\/icon\/open.png",
    "closed":"https:\/\/ackspace.nl\/icon\/closed.png"
  },
  "url":"https:\/\/ackspace.nl\/",
  "address":"Kloosterweg 1, 6411 VM Heerlen, The Netherlands",
  "contact":[
    {"phone":"+31457112345"},
    {"sip":"sip:31457112345@sip1.budgetphone.nl"},
    {"irc":"irc://freenode/#ACKspace"},
    {"twitter":"@ACKspace"},
    {"email":"contact@ackspace.nl"},
    {"ml":"info@lists.ackspace.nl"},
  "open":false,
  "status":"closed",
  "lastchange":1320586507,
}

• Uploaded it to [1] but the URL can be changed if necessary..
• From the SpaceAPI website: "In order to be able to retrieve the object from within a javascript sandbox, the server of the JSON object should set the ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ header with a value of ‘*’ ".

To do list:

• I created and uploaded really simple open & closed icons so they won't give HTTP 404 errors, improved icons are welcome! -- Vicarious 12:37, 9 December 2011 (CET)
• Add the JSON object to the existing Space state perl script or create a new script.
• From the SpaceAPI website: "Additionally, it might be beneficial to add a ‘Cache-Control’ header with a value of ‘no-cache’, to prevent browser caches from retaining old data."
