I finally got round to uploading the source files to Github. I ran the Switchboard application using python3 on a Linux machine and everything worked as expected. Not fully tested at this stage, so I wouldn't be surprised if some of the more fancy features (e.g., on-the-fly module update) would cause the application to crash.

So far we have the main repository https://github.com/josefschneider/switchboard which contains the framework complete with command line interface, and a switchboard client module to easily instantiate switchboard hosts.

The https://github.com/josefschneider/esp8266switchboardclient repository contains a C++ library that turns an ESP8266 into a Switchboard client using the ESP8266WebServer and ArduinoJson libraries.

Next steps:

• adding example code to the repository
• adding a short tutorial to the readme files
• creating a video of the whole thing in action
• adding features and unit tests
