When do you plan to implement link drawing?
The new nodeshot seems gorgeous but link drawing is a blocker
feature ;)

There are two parts who need to be developed in this regard:<br>
<ol>
<li>the network topology parser, which I'd like to build into a
separate python package, agnostic in respect to nodeshot<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>the UI<br>
</li>
</ol>
I think it's realistic for me to estimate I will be working on this
in the beginning of 2015.<br>
I, alone, can't do it sooner unfortunately.<br>

Reasonable ;)
On libremesh we are moving toward a stable release soon, I believe nodeshot
plugin would come in the next one

Good news.<br>
<br>
If I can permit to give a suggestion, I would delay the shipping of
new features or plugins and I would focus first on writing good
documentation and doing extensive testing (and iterative
improvement) of the core, because in my opinion this is what will
ultimately encourage people to use it.<br>
