Re: Hein: ArduPirates code ready for official status?
Norbert Machinek
I'll ask our crew who'll do the job.
Bastien should be the right guy since he's doing most of the Wiki updates
atm.
Also: Dani's Online Configurator is up and working. Have a look here:
http://ardupirates.net/net/MW_Config.php
Pirates NG is implemented and tested, AP1.7 and MultiWii are quite there but
need to be tested.
Will the ArduMegaCopter fit in there or will it be obsolete (covered by
other tools)?

Bastien Carrillo
It would be nice to have access to the Arducopter Wiki.
ATM, Ardupirates Wiki is pointing to some pages of Arducopter, and infos are partially wrong, because of the little differences between the codes.
I think it would be better if the Ardupirates wiki contains the most accurate informations, and if those informations are stored in the same wiki.
My Google address is bati...@yahoo.fr
Thanks,
Bastien
