| - | | Fake Mode | This mode does not require any physical devices at all; it simulates a weatherbox network by sending packets from multiple types of weatherboxes in an infinite loop. | | + | | Fake Mode | This mode does not require any physical devices at all; it simulates a weatherbox network \\ by sending packets from multiple types of weatherboxes in an infinite loop. | |
| | Bridged Mode | This mode allows you to hook up a physical device that emits TX frames onto uart lines. This could mean a full weatherbox, or just a microcontroller running a stubbed version of the normal firmware. | | | Bridged Mode | This mode allows you to hook up a physical device that emits TX frames onto uart lines.

| - | * Automated testing: this is important, because as the software gets bigger it gets harder and harder to test all of the cases manually by running the whole program. | ||
| - | * Unit testing | ||
| - | * End-to-end testing | ||
| - | * Packaging story needs to be better; hard to run application with virtualenv | ||
| - | * Fake mode with C code - this might be useful for creating new schemas | ||
| - | * Deployment needs to be better | ||
| - | * systemd | ||
| - | * staging environment? | ||
| - | * Command line args could use some cleanup | ||
| - | * Is there a way to de-couple the python xbee library from the underlying transport mechanism? | ||
| - | * We could possibly use a pty to "subscribe" via some mechanism for debugging and testing purposes | ||
| - | * REST api to get status? | ||
| - | * Adding a new schema to the gateway | ||
| - | * Logs for the gateway could be more useful | ||
