[Commotion-dev] iOS development

[Ufo]

some weeks ago i was looking for such apps. i was trying installing that 
qual.net App, with installed olsr but failed at some point when starting 
olsrd. but with some changes we should get it running at jailbrkn iphones.

another app i found was Freifunk Münster. xcode-overview screenshot 
http://twitpic.com/bw8v13 and with a live-connection map:

oh, the cloudtrax ios app looks very nice: 
https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/cloudtrax/id449746699?mt=8

another idea for ios app maybe WITHOUT olsr, only for wifi-dhcp-clients 
i was thinking about:
a possibility for visualize the olsr node data. (these are already 
existing at olsr nodes via json -> screenshot http://twitpic.com/bvr02y
the app could provide some lifestatistics about these values, and to 
"jump" from host to host should be possible. (maybe a favourite list of 
nodes could be useful)

even much more wifi-data (snr to each wifi neighbor for each installed 
wifi-interface) is provided via json, but only with root-login (via web-gui)
so with live-updating all THAT data in a nice gui that app could be a 
very nice tool when sitting at rooftop and installing/moving antennas.

there could also be a possibility for having a favourite meshnetwork out 
of a list of wordwide community networks. so we could have one nice app 
with having local information about many, many different towns and areas 
with mesh communities. that could be done similair to the 
hackerspace-api, which is nice decentralized. of course with some other 
values.  have a look: http://hackerspaces.me/

but im not an advanced ios programmer to get this running.

greetings, ufo
