Status: Needs people to hack on
Status: Needs people to hack on
== Location and status reporting ==
Something that reports location and status when polled.
We developed this format and easy to publish status data from nodes for our [http://dev.wlan-si.net/wiki/Nodewatcher/NodeTelemetryProvider nodewatcher]. OpenWrt packages are [https://github.com/wlanslovenija/firmware-packages-opkg/tree/master/util here]. [[User:Mitar|Mitar]] ([[User talk:Mitar|talk]]) 22:02, 11 July 2013 (PDT)
Status: Waiting for nodewatcher project to finish
Nice to have:
*Status info: How many nodes is your node connected to. Is the internet link working.
*An "I don't know what my internet bandwidth is, test it for me"-function.
*Usage statistics (so people can see how many people they helped get internet!)
:This is the most important thing! [[User:Mitar|Mitar]] ([[User talk:Mitar|talk]]) 22:20, 24 July 2013 (PDT)
:You should add as well graphs on how much bandwidth was consumed by the node. This is useful when hosts see that their Internet is slow and believe that it was because of the node. Then they can check and see if it is really node (which often is not) or maybe just ISP has problems. Important because people like to attribute issues they have to nodes they don't understand.

*Let people put up a bit of info about their node / house / co-op, on a simple web page that people can access only if they're connected to that node. It could be shown as part of the splash page.
