[hackerspaces] SpaceAPI being polled fast

[slopjong]

Good point with some arguments.

My suggestion is to add a yet undocument field "poll-frequency" to high 
or low. OpenSpaceDirectory will then cache your json.

I'd say 10 min should be ok for a period. This makes 144 polls for you.

As I see this as an urgend feature request, @leloo: give me some 
feedback if that's ok.

Cheers,
Romain
