The project is very young and still under heavy development but it

does have working code using client-side Javascript & the

OpenStreetMap libraries to draw mesh maps from the vis server.

Very nice project!

I think it would be a good idea to add a link and a short project description

on open-mesh.net to point people to your project. What do you think ?

Tx Marek, yes please!

2) I've patched the layer-3 vis daemon with a command-line

option to output the mesh map in JSON format rather than

dot as I found it a tad more amenable to abuse. (Btw, is

this something anyone else would find useful? I'd be happy

to clean up & contribute the patch!)

Yes, I'm interested. :-)

JSON sounds like a good alternative to dot draw. If you bring your patch into

shape I will commit it. May be you add an option to switch between dot draw

and JSON ?

-j turns on JSON output and closes the socket after serving the browser request.

Speaking of... If I were to run two vis daemons on the mesh would they synchronize with each other so that - in theory - one of them could serve dot format and the other JSON ?

Patch to follow :)
