Good work!

As it's a wiki, I dared to mess around a bit. I removed some obsolete
stuff, straightened some terms and added a few explanations. No
guarantees as well, it was a quick hack.

Your commitment on a TDMA extension regarding "joint slots", as I would
call it now, will be warmly welcome! Do you already have an idea, how to
extend the configuration interface (tdmacfg)? Also, some syntax
extension for tdma.cfg would be useful. My spontaneous idea would be to
assign further slots to an existing one be means of an additional
tdmacfg parameter expecting the target slot id.

Looking forward to your patch! If questions regarding the TDMA code etc.
arrise, feel free to ask.
