Great stuff! I've been following the project and look forward to
trialing it.
Reading your About page (not the FAQ), I feel it's a little misleading
to say
"Commotion is a free, open-source communication tool". Rather, it's a
platform
built atop (leveraging) a wide array of external, community-developed
projects -
from B.A.T.M.A.N/OpenMesh, OpenWrt to OpenBTS and more.
Keep up the good work in 2014!
Thanks! ^_^ The project is free, and open-source, and used to
communicate. There are already communities who have deployed/used
Commotion networks, a good example of which is Redhook WiFi. The
nomenclature is really tricky, because our work goes way beyond router
firmware, so sometimes the project is easier to understand if we say
software or tool, and focus on the ways it can be used.
So no, I don't think it's misleading *at all* to call it a free,
open-source, communications tool, because it is all of those things.
Commotion leverages and builds upon the work of lots of great projects
like Serval and OpenWRT, but I think that's a positive aspect of the
project. :D
Happy New Year! (it's still 2013 here haha)
