[Nodedb-interop] did you know about the meshboard implementation ?

Hope they are going well ...

I think that we are still finding focuses - in plural. For sure one and
main is common node database schema. Some other I proposed on the wiki.
If they catch OK, if not, also OK.

And I think it is OK that we exchange also other ideas (not just schema
and attributes there) about our node database systems. To work on
collaborative knowledge in this field.

I completely agree. This is our primary and most important focus.

I am not really sure how to read this. A lot of data. :-)

So if I understand you are using this IP ranges (not completely):


10.139.0.0/16
172.25.0.0/16
10.228.150.0/24
10.228.129.0/24
10.228.128.0/17
172.16.0.0/14
172.20.0.0/14
172.24.0.0/14
172.28.0.0/14
172.16.0.0/12
10.35.80.0/21

Is this correct? How often do you change this? Would it be enough just
to enter this into the wiki? Could you do it?

For now maybe we could just enter things into the wiki manually and then
later on when we define schema I could make this wiki page dynamic so
that it would aggregate data automatically from all networks.

(And yes, that list is also just for reference, that is why there is
also a contact address so that you can get into the contact for more
precise or current information.)

> I think we should start working on XML/DTD descriptions,

Yes, but we should first try to get everybody who wants to participate
in this. No? Maybe we could try to get somebody from Greece? And others?

Maybe meshboard could describe also their schema on the wiki?

Yes. That is why I also added to the wiki not just schema but also that
we should work on data aggregation/exchange. Work on this could simply
mean just agree that everybody would use same RESTful way of doing this,
for example.
