If it was possible to get the info from olsrd in a public API, then it would be nice to have a standalone jsoninfo daemon that queries a bunch of sources.  But since currently, jsoninfo needs to be an olsrd plugin to get the olsrd info, I think it makes sense to include some non-olsrd info that can be fetched by reading files, etc. (i.e. /proc, /sys, etc/).
