[Commotion-dev] OLSR mesh tether app on Commotion

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Hey Will,

Glad to have your contributions on this! I'll go ahead and commit that.
 That app as it stands is the first alpha, so yea, it'll need lots more
fixes like this to make it work well.  I'm currently immersed in writing
a 'jsoninfo' plugin for olsrd which will allow the Android app to easily
get all of the information that the current txtinfo and httpinfo plugins
provide, as well as provide a way to set the HNA routes dynamically.

We then plan on making olsrd.conf files for 7ish profiles, which will be
user-selectable, that's something you could work on now, if you are
interested.

Then we'll be implementing the final round of the GUI, I'll try to post
sketches this week.

Perhaps you could also help us get some Commotion nodes setup on our
end?  We have a Buffalo and a few Foneras.  This would help us a lot
with testing.
