Hi Erich.

I'll try to import them all.

I'll work out a document. The actual process of contributing to the
repo will closely follow the guidelines already laid out by
https://github.com/openwrt/packages/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md plus
some LuCI specifics (e.g. about translations).

LuCI has been in maintenance mode only for quite a while and I plan to
invest more time in the future again. A first step is/was getting rid of
the legacy project resources due to a lack of admin time.

That happened without me knowing about it, I had no influence on this.
But since LuCI never directly targeted modeswitch its not really within
the project scope.

That was done by the community people without any involvement of LuCI or
OpenWrt developers. It surprised me too but since I'm out of the
Freifunk loop for years now I couldn't really work on that. I think some
of the damage has been repaired by now.
