Agreed, you are absolutely correct. The great thing about open communities is that collaboration around use cases that are folks are interested in naturally gravitate , based on interest and focus.
Personally for me, I understand RF conceptually fairly well , however coding FFTs or messing with GNU Radio, scares the bazeezes out of me :) ; as opposed to Linux network programming or networking protocols that I am fairly comfortable with. Further, the use cases we see being very useful are, around Software based Linux Networking in CBW environment. Having said that, if you could provide the community a Lime Micro or Rugged Pod with ONIE and a NOS (3.x or onwards Linux based) ; we would make sure the OCP CBW networking stack we are building would work on that as well. We can also include those use cases in our Fall OCP CBW demo.
