creating infrastructure for generic 6LoWPAN branch

Alexander Aring
maintainerHi,
I was thinking about to create some infrastructure to handle generic 6LoWPAN development things, which is shared between bluetooth and 802.15.4. I mean everything which is in "net/6lowpan" and things which are 6LoWPAN "specific/related/mostly used in 6LoWPAN" and works in L3 and upper layers.
What we should need is some kind of website which contains a ToDo list of everything which is outside there and what we currently support. I mean a general information site for "6LoWPAN" implementation inside Linux kernel.
Additionally we need some repository which contains some userspace tools for handling generic 6LoWPAN things like userspace configuration tool for the 6LoWPAN nhc layer. These tools can be used then for all 6LoWPAN implementations (BTLE/802.15.4 at the moment). That was one idea which was discussed while bringing nhc layer mainline.
Any ideas where we should host this site, do we really need this or any others suggestions?

On kernel.org there's a wiki system (and of course git).
Go, get some signatures under you gpg key! :D

As Marc suggested, the kernel.org wiki would be a good choice. And all the userspace tools could be there also.
Cheers,
