I was pretty excited about it 3-4 years ago, but it seems like it's kind of an abandoned project at this point. Anyone making use of it and have any impressions?
Definitely not abandoned, but it’s a free-time project for myself and another developer. At the end of last year we released version 0.5 with a new protocol design, and roughly a month ago released 0.5.9 with link cost changes to dramatically improve network latency.
Thanks for that update, you might want to post a quick blog update because that was where I was looking to see what the activity was. I get it about free-time projects, I have some of those myself. Thanks for your work on this, it is definitely very neat!
