[Commotion-dev] Questions about dashboard development

[Ben West]

Howdy,

I'm writing after seeing this issue filed about collecting node tests
results from remote nodes and presumably storing in a central location:
https://github.com/opentechinstitute/commotion-dashboard-helper/issues/6

What are current thoughts about a centralized node database and/or
dashboard for Commotion?  Any changes from this wiki page about the subject
dated in June?
https://code.commotionwireless.net/projects/commotion/wiki/BigBoard

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.

The Interop group have recently documented various schemas for a node
databases here http://interop.wlan-si.net

By comparison, the CommonNodeDB repo from Aaron K (cited in the BigBoard
wiki page) is now a couple years old:
https://github.com/aaronkaplan/commonNodeDB

Additionally, WLAN Slovenia has their nodewatcher project, which appears to
be at or nearing substantial maturity:
https://dev.wlan-si.net/wiki/Nodewatcher
https://github.com/wlanslovenija/nodewatcher

Maybe there is something interesting in Nodewatcher that could be a good
fit for Commotion?
