Hi everyone,

recently I met some of you guys and girls and I think there's the shared opinion that we should get back together and collaborate on small tasks, which should not be so painful as working on big tasks.

One small task that has been in the backlog for some time was this JSON representation of a network device.

I sat together with Andi (Freifunk Weimar) today at the Google Mentor Summit Reunion
, we compared a few JSON outputs: openwifi map, openwrt ubus, netengine and we came up with a first basic proposal.

We haven't worked on the JSON schema yet, only on an example, it should be easy to write the JSON schema after we agree on some examples.

So I would like to encourage all of you to take a look at this file:
https://github.com/interop-dev/network-device-schema/blob/master/example.json

Our aim is to include only the very essential bits and then start iterating to improve it.

What do you think?

Federico (Ninux) and Andi (Freifunk)
