It's a cool project. I had a chat with their lead developer a few months
ago, to see if there were any areas of possible collaboration.
Unfortunately there's not a lot of overlap between the goals of Open
Wireless and Commotion. However, some similarities include security and
an interest in Quality of Service controls so folks can share only a
portion of their bandwidth with the network.

I'd love to flash it on a router and try it out.
