Dear Nico, Thank-you for getting back to me. I understand the needs of the community for a GUI for existing functionality.
I am still interested in working on this angle of the project. I took a look at Omnet++ and it is quite impressive. Its built on the eclipse framework. And is also open source. An alternative possibility could be adding to the graphical side of the existing Gnu Radio Companion (GRC). "One aspect (and also a new feature) should be the visualization of the network structure/layout and node distribution itself where one also should be able to randomly deploy nodes and thus create a network structure." Please correct me if I am wrong. The required functionality is a gui like Omnet++. But with gr-winelo blocks representing nodes and channels. The user can add/delete nodes. And select which channel blocks to put between them. I would like to work on this project. However, for my proposal, I need to be a bit more specific regarding the project requirements so I can study and formulate my timeline/deliverables accordingly. Could you please share any relevant resource on gr-winelo with me? apart from the FOSDEM talk. And also elaborate more on the requirements of the gui. e.g. the underlying framework for gui? eclipse? gtk/qt? etc..

Last week I had a talk with some other GR developers and we came to the conclusion that channel models alone are not of high impoortance right now. We did a brainstorming about the most import WiNeLo projects at this time. Hence, we all agreed on the fact, that we have to work on the framework itself. As a consequence, I want to propose you another possible project: We need some kind of GUI for the already existing functionality. One aspect (and also a new feature) should be the visualization of the network structure/layout and node distribution itself, where one also should be able to randomly deploy nodes and thus create a network structure. There should something similar to the Oment++-GUI or something like that. I will also update the GSOC/page during the day! Are you still interessted in working on the Wireless Netowrks In-the-Loop project at this point? I really hope so, but I can understand if that doesn't fit to your plans anymore.
