Man Pages and 2.0 Preparation

I finally finished the man pages for the scripts and programs in MCI. Together with the improved installation instructions for the mote host it should now be a little easier to figure out how to setup this part of the testbed.

Anyway, it has all been pushed it to the remote-mci-1.x branch, which I also finally merged back into my trunk. I haven't decided whether it is worth creating a 1.x branch for SVN; time will tell. However, Rosta mentioned during our talk today that some fixes from his side might be expected in the future and I have some things I would like to fix myself to make 1.x more robust.

In other news, preparation for 2.0 will start to take place and today's chat was a step in that direction. We discussed what the focus should be, and went into detail with a few of the bigger task ahead, such as the administrator interface. To help with this preparation, I made some changes to the wiki to introduce a better framework for the enhancement proposals inspired by TinyOS' TEPs and Python's PEPs. The REP structure is still very informal and simple, since it is still not clear to what extent this will be used. Some work remains to convert the old design documents to the new structure.
