[deepamehta-devel] Freifunk API Query Client with DeepaMehta?

[Andreas Bräu]

Hi there,

Martin wrote a blog post on our project:
http://blog.freifunk.net/2014/gsoc-freifunk-api-query-client-meets-deepamehta

We'll meet this evening to look at the work and discuss the next steps.
And I'll encourage him to subscribe to this list to answer some
questions himself :-)

Best Regards,

Andi
