Jaromil, I remember when you set up a wordpress installation. Then nobody went on shaping it. Maybe it was my fault, because I never gave the necessary input for what we should put on the site. During this time I made some (very little, tiny) experience on using wordpress, maybe I could try to set it up again.
I understand that very few people have the knowledge and familiarity with mathematics that Alpt mastered. Anyhow, it seems to me that what Alpt already produced in terms of theoretical analysis and algorithm is enough to create a working prototype of the netsukuku network. In particular not all of the "features" prospected on the dissertation "scalable mesh networks and the address space balancing problem" dated 2010 are yet implemented in the software. This was to say that in my opinion, the netsukuku project could very well focus on the production of the network as it was designed years ago, although we do not have at the moment a person with an in-depth mastering of the mathematical models behind it. I believe that the features of such a network (no ISP needed, no central authority, self-forming, self-healing, highly scalable, fully routable, mesh network, based on current TCP/IP) are still worth, because other projects that you mention are pursuing different goals. If this is what we still are aiming to do, then we can go on discussing on what to write on the website. What do you think? --Luca On Fri, May 17, 2013 at 9:33 PM, Jaromil <[email protected]> wrote: > > dear Luca, > > On Fri, 17 May 2013, Luca Dionisi wrote: > > > Hi Jaromil > > I was wondering who the author of the update was. > > Alpt in person.
