<div dir="ltr">Hello,<div><br></div><div>I think the wlan Slovenija guys are the leaders on this one, so it makes sense to leverage their work and extend their work as required. From memory they also have some very capable developers who could probably do much or all of the required work.</div>

<br>Offering comment on a high level, and after observing the ROBIN mesh project splinter into closed-source forks and dead ends, supporting interoperability with other mesh node dashboard and node database implementations is a big plus, even if only partial.<br>
