Hi Oleg That seems like a very positive response, particularly your goal of 'industrial' application.
Can I make a couple of hopefully relevant observations from Contiki experience in particular. - A decent, detailed user manual and well documented code is much of what seems to separate research from commercial quality open-source software. - Similarly an up-to-date, prioritised road map with some kind of time scale. - Also details of contents of releases. Apart from core releases it would be extremely helpful to be able to understand the release status of each platform, perhaps a standard system to be used by platform developers. Difficult I realise with volunteer effort. So will keep following and at some stage hopefully will be in a position to contribute.
