Hello everyone,
this is the weekly report for OpenWifi. This week was about fixing and 
implementing authentication and basic authorization. The main problem 
was that I used a class attribute instead of an instance attribute for 
the acl - which caused to add up access entries. This is now fixed. I 
also talked with Julius what is important for him next and we decided 
that it would be a good idea to implement a way to register a "service".

This way an external application can setup some queries and openwifi 
deals with setting the queries based on a node capabilities. (Instead of 
the service that keeps tracks of nodes and changes itself)

The implementation should be quite simple and I think I'll do that next 
week. I also talked with Arne Kappen about him using this with his ONOS 
project.

What has been done this week:
* fixed authorization bug (see above)
* changed everything to use coarse authorization (including OpenWifiWeb) 
and make it also work with authorization disabled
* think about services

What has not been done:
* haven't updated the notifier script - I'll work a little bit on this 
today and tomorrow
* small github page about OpenWifi -> I'll do that next week

What should be done next week:
* update boot-notifier
* test OpenWifiWeb
* fix discovery for nginx-docker image (need to update services.conf for 
avahi)
* small github page
* start work fine grained access (while at this improve db model handling)
* add "services" (as described above)

Cheers,
Johannes
