Hi, I've got a few suggestions that will improve the project. The first thing we (I'm not a C programmer myself but i can help you with testing, i have quite a few routers and radio cards). The current Netsukuku C implementation doesn't work as it should, and it's a bit out of date since it doesn't compile on kernels 2.6. My suggestion is that we should make at least another C release while the python codebase stabilizes. Me and other people were working on syncing Netsukuku with the current OpenWRT kamikaze release and we have made some advances. If we squash all the bugs then we will increase the userbase and more people will get willing to work on documentation, site, translations, etc. > The interest in Netsukuku is high but people with enough knowlege in > networking and C is rare. Yes, and this might sound as a call for all the people who were always present on the ML to start helping on the project for real. I know that many of us are busy with real life issues, but this might be the time to start devoting to update the status of Netsukuku. We need a team of people who are willing to maintain a wiki, organize the trac and handle bug reports, writers, etc. The developers can't handle all the things we need to lift Netsukuku up to date. > I suggest you to make a little (not so little) docs about coding netsukuku, > maybe could be useful for young programmers that would join the project. > Another point is: There is some howto on making a Netsukuku network from a > pc + wifi antenna? (I can't find it, bt I've no search the net well...) There is some on the Netsukuku website, and the guys at Meganetwork[1] and Ninux[2] as well CogitoWireless[3] have made some testing and documentation about Netsukuku. Again, we must work on consolidating all the HOWTOs and configuration issues in the Netsukuku website. I know that the devs would say that code is what matters now, and it's perfectly fine, but since there are people who are willing to take up tasks that will help the project then it might be time to assign new tasks and get organized?
