It is a neat concept! Apparently it's been popular in the ham radio community as well as the weather tracking community.
blitzortung.org started in Germany and I think they're trying to jump-start the creation of more stations outside their original area. It looks like they already have many stations in the Germanic countries so I suspect that's why they're directing the kits elsewhere.
