We currently use a pretty hacked version of network manager 0.6

Sjoerd modified network manager to work with the mesh in 0.7 (forward ported the changes).

It would be nice if we had network manager 0.7 in joyride.

  • Nicer API
  • Nobody is developing 0.6 anymore
  • 0.7 has new functionality and may have support for more networks

This would likely require working with

  • Sugar presence service
  • Neighborhood view
  • Frame for the mesh device representation

Progress

  • Michael Stone told bjordan this would be nice
  • Sent out email to devel --Bjordan 22:35, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Initial NM 0.7 with mesh support ready -- sjoerd, 17 July 2008

Interested in helping

--Bjordan - The more helpful information on the Wiki, the better my capacity to contribute (haven't done much dealing with network manager) --mtd - I've done some work on Frame/mesh icons (Trac #6995) , so I could help with "Frame for the mesh device representation"
