[Commotion-discuss] mapping of nodes w/ OLSR-Viz

Hi John,

In my experience, when I'm connected to a gateway node, it shows itself
as the only gateway on the network in OLSR-Viz. But when I'm connected
to a non-gateway node, it seems to show all the gateways in OLSR-Viz. I
haven't paid attention enough to confirm this, but it just seems to be a
limitation of the way OLSRd reports HNAs/gateways in its txtinfo and
jsoninfo plugins.

There are definitely plans to replace OLSR-Viz with something much
better, comparable to what other projects like Freifunk and AlterMundi
use, but I can't really say how far off that is.
