Pitbull is not useful yet according to Nico Pace. We started to
collaborate
to develop to get it finished but it doesn't seem like it will happen
in
less than 6 months or so.
If we write a brief description of the skills and work needed to create Pitbull,
maybe we can attract more developers. And even if we don't attract more people to
participate, we will have a clearer understanding of the work. Who can improve this first
draft?:
*The LibreMesh community will soon start working on a captive portal software to enable
community functions such as local bulletin boards and network access control. We call on
people with Lua programming experience to look at our GitHub repo at
https://GitHub.com/libremesh/pitbull and post questions and comments there. For more read
communication, visit our matrix chat room at -insert address here-. We also call on people
interested in testing the captive portal software as we develop it.*
Improving this call to action and distributing it among our networks at least opens the
chance of other people joining the effort... Nothing to lose.
(I'm willing to learn more programming, but I don't I can contribute much in
that task. Testing I think I can do.)
I think these creations, such as the captive portal, add a lot of value to our networks
and make them more attractive and more viable as real alternatives to non-community
networks, offering tools and social dynamics that non-community networks cannot offer.
I'll work on an English documentation of the hack this weekend and send
it
to the list, it would be great if you could test.
Great! Our community in Caimito has wanted a captive portal since we started over a year
ago. I look forward to testing (and upgrading or nodes to libremesh 17).

Not that I can provide any useful information to
answer the question
posed, but I'd sure like to see this become a reality as well! Think
of
this as a +1!
