In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <1462129037.2623.42.camel@chambana.net> Hello, No, the Android version of Commotion is not being worked on currently. Ultimately, attempting to do mesh networking on Android devices in the same way that it's done on routers ended up being a technical dead-end. Modern versions of Android lack the necessary APIs and driver support to reliable and effectively use most of the underlying technologies that embedded wireless firmwares like Commotion use, though the efforts around the Android prototype app provided valuable research information. I would like to return to an Android app in the future, though with a strategy of using it to provide greater security to and enrich the experience of using a router-based wireless mesh network. I'm going to be doing some website and list cleanup later this week, so thanks for flagging this as a list that should most likely be archived for the time being.
