<p>Hi, I'm Benson. I am hoping to get up to speed on mesh networks and help out if I can.</p>
<p>I can't help thinking the worst case scenario is that some unsavory person makes a seemingly innocuous commit that introduces a backdoor or other security flaw which they can then exploit in real-world installations of olsrd. I think this is unlikely, but if I owned the repository I'd give it serious consideration.</p>
<p>I look forward to becoming more involved in the project as I collect the necessary hardware to begin using mesh networks.</p>
<p>Benson</p>
