This is very strange approach that I, frankly met nowhere else in ham world but here.

I participated in number of noncommercial and hobby projects and the one of the main goals I always had was to document things to make it easier for people to learn, get involved and contribute.

IMHO there is more than enough documentation around for people to learn, get involved and contribute. It is only for the types that want to know the reason for each and every bit that there may be a lack of documentation. It is my opinion that when they really need the detailed specification they claim is not available, they should write that themselves asking for input here on the mailinglist. But they rather prefer slashing everything that is there and claiming that it is all inferior.

There really is not much to it, it is simply a meshed IPIP tunnel network with a gateway to the outside internet, and everyone with basic understanding of routing should be able to comprehend how it works. The software it is running on has changed over time so directions on how to get it working have to evolve as well. I have posted simple scripts for Linux on this list and I don't see what is wrong with them. Of course they are not "specification and documentation" but hey, there are only some 10 shell commands to it.
