[lwip-users] RFC: lwIP project lead / future direction

[Leon Woestenberg]

Hello all,

I am glad to see the growth of momentum on the development side of lwIP; 
people stepping up to implement new features, wanting to clean the APIs 
and people concerned over performance regression, etc. Several 
suggestions on the list would call for breakage of the lwIP for some 
users, because of API change. My personal preference would be to ditch 
the current API's and go for a sole BSD sockets compatible API, stripped 
for features as appropriate.

As I am no longer using lwIP in current projects (and probably will not 
spend time on it for the next year), it makes no sense for me to be a 
project co-leader anymore. I simply am no longer able to oversee the 
whole picture.

As Adam Dunkels (the original author) and Kieran Mansley (co-leader) are 
in similar positions (no resp. limited time to spend on lwIP) I hope 
other people (which are actively involved with lwIP) can step up for 
this position, which mainly involves proper progress of the future 
development of the lwIP stack and proper release engineering.

Any hands in the crowd? :-)

Regards,

Leon Woestenberg.
