wcoord (wireless-coordination)
Easy configuration of wireless networks
This project aims to create a standard management system for groups of networked devices by integrating with core components of the OpenWrt embedded operating system. The management system integrates the latest developments in lightweight OpenWrt software: ucode (a powerful and small alternative to Bash or Lua), and unetd (a daemon that aides in the creation of fully-meshed WireGuard VPNs). OpenWrt, already one of the most prominent operating systems for embedded devices, plays a fundamental (often invisible) role in internet commons on the network edge. Improvements in deployment and management of groups of devices empower people to take collective control of the hardware they already own and use.
