Subject: Re: [lime] Firmware images of latest libremesh based on openwrt 23.05.0
As said before I have been working on top of OpenWrt development
versions since months, IMHO building on top of 23.05.0 have more
probability of having a good result that on top of 22.03

About the name after the very involved EE what about
Fantastic Forwarder?

Cheers
