[hpsdr] Software direction for openHPSDR...

[n3evl]

I was thinking of firing up the KISS s/w and possibly digging into the 
source code to see what's there and what makes it tick.  It occurred to 
me that maybe instead, I should look at some of the other s/w such as 
the mods to PowerSDR or the ghpsdrx code.
With all the variety of choices and their different stages of 
development, this got me thinking about the direction we hpsdr users are 
headed with respect to the software part of our wonderful radio.  It 
strikes me that AFAIK, there has never been a purely software project to 
complement all of the various hardware items that openHPSDR has yielded 
to date.

I'm also wondering what a newcomer to openHPSDR might make of this, 
having seen the available hardware offerings.
Perhaps all we need is some consolidation of information on what's 
available for various platforms and an easy way to get at the associated 
documentation so anyone can find the binaries, source code, installation 
guides etc. - perhaps a dedicated section of the web/wiki?
However, perhaps it is also time for some discussion about the 
possibilities and future direction with respect to the software, perhaps 
along the lines of a dedicated project that can define some goals and 
hopefully meet the needs of the diverse community with respect to 
function, languages, operating systems, servers, clients, etc. but also 
keep in mind the HP part of openHPSDR.

In the meantime, I'd still like to grab the latest KISS code, so if 
someone can point me at the latest incantation I'd appreciate it.
