I just again and again get the feeling from batman people that sort of "everything else sucks" Like academia sucks, olsr sucks etc etc. But that is a bit contra-productive. That is what I wanted to point out.
Where does this feeling come from ?
I think there has been enough academia bashing (completely useless!) in the past. If you look up the old mails then you know what I mean.
Sorry, I still have difficulties to understand. I looked up the old mails (of this mailing list) and found only one mail mentioning "academic" and that was in march, so i am not sure if you are referring to that.
Anyway, if there was bashing (on whatever) then I am sorry, but it also would be just fair to give a reasonable hint (in a reasonable time) to the statements that caused the bad feelings. Otherwise it causes just reproaches without leaving a chance to defend/explain and even worse at a time where nobody remembers what the actual thread was about. The same applies to olsr but here i want to add that comparing batman with existing state of the art solutions is usual and wanted. I admit , personally I might be a bit biased but thats why we have this public mailing list, so that everybody can question the given statements and come up with precise and concrete counter arguments.
I am quite convinced that academia already overtook the freifunk style networks some time ago! And you just don't notice it.
Can you provide further (background-)links on that (especially interesting would be those based on real world tests as addressed below)?
best regards, axel
Again: I do NOT really think about OLSR so much in particular. I just wanted to give you some feedback. You could also sum the feedback up as:
"Hochmut/Arroganz kommt vor dem Fall"
I hope I am wrong.
nevertheless, I am very curious when the next real world tests come out. Well, again. Just my personal feelings and observations. I hope I am wrong.
ciao, a.
