Cool. I could contribute something to it. But first - to make collaboration
easier we should setup some wiki page or add docs to the sources describing
the functionality, design, features, etc. For example I don't know pretty
much anything about the drone's commands, protocols, etc. So if someone's
already studied those I'd like to see those documented..
