Scratch that - those aren't compiled correctly. These should be though. Damn openwrt buildroot is a pita. Why wouldn't make package/packagename/clean && make package/packagename/compile re-download the git tarball!!

Hey folks,

I'm running a little late, but it does look like I successfully compiled an ar71xx binary of notdchpclient and notdhcpserver. I've attached the ipks to this email in case anyone is super anxious to get running with them, otherwise I'll be at sudo a little after 8.

Yay! \o/

For some reason these messages ended up in my spam box :/

I spent the evening debugging and improving notdhcp and it really needs to be compiled again. Hopefully that's easy now?

I wrote down some thoughts on our future plans to auto-switch ethernet ports from public/private to dedicated extender-node ports. Here they are:

  https://github.com/sudomesh/sudowrt-firmware/issues/26

I was thinking about setting a tentative development schedule for roll-out:

Suggested milestones for v0.2:

* Switch to babel [done]

* Upgrade to barrier breaker [done]

* Multi-radio support [done]

* Add-on radios via extender-nodes [nearly there]

* New ubus-based web interface (but no extender-node management) [~three nights work?]

* Working (but not necessarily ideal) node monitoring system [done?]

* No fake captive portal [postponed]

Suggested timeline:

  * May 1st: sudowrt feature-complete for 0.2 and ready to test. First home+extender node up near curtis st. garden.

  * May 7th: First garden node prototype operational at Curtis st. community garden.

  * June 1st:
    ** sudowrt v0.2 release candidate 1.
    ** Development of v0.3 begins.

  * July 1st: sudowrt v0.2 stable release

  * August 1st: v0.3 feature-complete

Potential milestones for v0.3:

* Improved web interface
** Usage statistics

** Extender-node management

* Automatic extender-node connection on all ethernet ports
* Fake captive portal working

* Service browser working well

* Node alignment-helper web interface
* Support for monthly bandwidth sharing cap

Potential milestones for v1.0:

* Per-node internet-routable IPv6 subnet

* Multicast node-monitoring

* Gigabit connection piped into mesh

* Decentralized exit node / VPuN server discovery

* Service browser working well

* Switch to "foo over udp" tunnel

* Auto-launch of local services (wikipedia/openstreetmaps) when USB stick plugged in

* Logistics management for sale of pre-flashed nodes

* Launch crowdfunding campaign

Potential milestones for v2.0:

* Secure trust-based babel routing

* Automatic node transmit power adjustment

Our efforts to document should keep up with releases, so it may make sense to take a couple of weeks of focused documentation effort after each release.

What do you humans think?
