Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [RFC 0/5] batman-adv: Throughput meter

[Edo Monticelli <montik@autistici.org>]

Hi Sven,

thanks for your email and sorry for the late reply.

I shifted my interests and I am currently working as front-end
developer, I am afraid that my C skills could be a bit rusty :)
In addition so much is going on both on the professional and personal
life that I am afraid at least for the time being I hardly could inject
a new project.

best,
Edo
