Si, in effetti non e' chiarissima la descrizione. Il punto chiave e'
"separated".
Due nodi non dovrebbero avere lo stesso g3.g2.g1.g0. Poiche' pero' esiste anche
l'eventualita' che due nodi scelgano lo stesso ID, occorre avere un altro tipo di ID, ovvero il fingerprint.
L'ID e' usato all'interno della rete. Il fingerprint e' un ID "assoluto", che
dovrebbe garantire l'unicita' di ogni macchina.

In pratica:
	supponi che due nodi creino separatamente due reti Netsukuku, una in
	Europa e una sulla Luna. supponi anche che in queste due reti, due
	nodi scelgano lo stesso ID. Fino a quando le reti rimangono separate,
	non sorge alcun problema. Quando pero' vorrai collegare la Luna con
	l'Europa, allora dovrai poter distinguere i due nodi, per dirgli: "tu
	cambia ID; tu invece no". 

Lo stesso discorso si puo' fare in generale per i gnode. Quindi il fingerprint
lo assegni anche ad un intero gnode.

si. "b" era per "byte", non per bit.

~> 256 nodes for the level 1

~> 256 nodes for the level 4
~> and then stop if we consider only the ipv4 structure, but continues if we
~> consider ipv6 or ipv7,8,9,10 ecc..

si, anche se sarebbe piu' corretto dire:
  256 nodes that is on it's same level (his neighbour)
  256 gnodes for the level 1
  256 gnodes for the level 2
  256 gnodes for the level 3

Hi everybody

Recently, I've seen that new code has been committed to the svn for
this project.
(http://dev.hinezumi.org/browser/netsukuku)
So I assume that someone of the developers is still active on the project.

The web site, on the other hand, seems to be left in a very old state.

The IRC channel is often quite full of people, but all of them seem to
be just listening, and nothing seems to happen.

The mailing list, you know, is silent.

In the end, I would ask, how are the developers communicating between
themselves? Or is the project becoming a one-man-project?
Are there any means for the casual, interested, people (or for the
wanna-be-developer) to get informed on the ways the project evolve?

That is exactly the point.

Right.
The pyntk code is clear and well commented, so it will be enough to describe
the general architecture (events, rpc, ...) and give a "reading order".
This now goes in top priority.
However, if you are studying the code, feel free to ask any question to
clarify your doubts.

first the working code, then the howto.

Google Summer of Code?
Left the team?

Hi, I've got a few suggestions that will improve the project. The first thing we
(I'm not a C programmer myself but i can help you with testing, i have quite a
few routers and radio cards). The current Netsukuku C implementation doesn't
work as it should, and it's a bit out of date since it doesn't compile
on kernels
2.6. My suggestion is that we should make at least another C release while
the python codebase stabilizes. Me and other people were working on syncing
Netsukuku with the current OpenWRT kamikaze release and we have made
some advances. If we squash all the bugs then we will increase the userbase
and more people will get willing to work on documentation, site, translations,
etc.

Yes, and this might sound as a call for all the people who were always
present on the ML to start helping on the project for real. I know that many
of us are busy with real life issues, but this might be the time to
start devoting
to update the status of Netsukuku. We need a team of people who are willing
to maintain a wiki, organize the trac and handle bug reports, writers, etc. The
developers can't handle all the things we need to lift Netsukuku up to date.

There is some on the Netsukuku website, and the guys at Meganetwork[1] and
Ninux[2] as well CogitoWireless[3] have made some testing and documentation
about Netsukuku. Again, we must work on consolidating all the HOWTOs and
configuration issues in the Netsukuku website.

I know that the devs would say that code is what matters now, and it's
perfectly fine, but since there are people who are willing to take up tasks
that will help the project then it might be time to assign new tasks and
get organized?

Unix is simple. It just takes a genius to understand its simplicity.

This site radically changed lately ;)

Check your links before posting :) You will not find anything about
Netsukuku there now :)

This seems counterproductive to me. Why not focus on bringing the more
up to date python implementation up to release quality? It's been
getting there for so long, it can't have far to go now...
