Re: [Platformx-sg2-devel] Release 1.0

ed,

excellent news and great work.

maybe i can find the time to pitch in with a uIP port so that we can do 
straight IP-based ipc with the imote2, as with the msp430/tos-based 
platforms that we've been building in cambridge; it would be great to 
have a device with more horsepower with regular networking capabilities.
