Okay, let me rephrase it... the exact capabilities of UCI and how to
use them are badly defined/documented. ;)

Thank you.

Do you have a good suggestion how to adapt the documentation in the
olsr.org wiki to be more helpful?

Especially the main OONF page seems to have grown too much, but I am
not sure how to change it.

Suggestions are welcome!
