[Interop-dev] A survey of community network management solutions

The new version of nodeshot has something interesting that is not
mentioned in that table which is a notification system so that users can
know of what happens around them if they want to.

There are also a few other modules like a simple CMS to write content
pages, login with social networks, a tool to contact a subset or all the
users and so on.

The curious thing, which I often ask myself why, is that most of those
programs are written in python but do not share any common library.

That's why in the new nodeshot we are develping the topology parser in a
separate pure python library hoping that more communities will join
forces: https://github.com/ninuxorg/netdiff

I believe a similar approach could be used also for generating
configurations.
