This wikipage is intended as a starting point for discussions about the requirements, architecture and implementation guidelines for OpenWRT Kamikaze Freifunk addons and/or the new Lua-Webinterface in general.

• The Freifunk addon for Kamikaze will be primarily a different or modified web interface since most of the required core functionality is already provided by OpenWRT
• The web interface will consist of a public part, visible for everyone and an adminstrative part only accesible after a successful authentication
• The language for implementing required CGI scripts is Lua
• CGI scripts should access the central configuration through the uci command or libuci
• CGI scripts should generate all output through a template framework, preferably with i18n capabilities
• CGI scripts should not access the system directly, but using a kind of abstraction layer for determining system-specific settings, devices, environment variables etc.
• Generated HTML should conform to XHTML 1.0 strict, if applicable
• No core functionality should solely depend on Java-Script

The framework for writing a Freifunk webinterface will be roughly divided in three parts:

• A library for accessing the central configuration through uci
• A template framework for generating html code and doing automatic translation
• An abstraction layer to access system specific data

Some candidates for the templating toolkit and form-processing capabilities etc. are Haserl (GPL v2) or CGILua (BSD-like license)
