What I can tell you, is that I found it very difficult to find what the
situation was on the Netgear router that I wanted to work with.

A series of well-designed pages that would help me find the latest info, with
notes of workarounds or "no it won't work" would have saved me a lot of
Googling to find posts, then having to look at the date of each post to work
out the chronology; and would go a long way to helping with adoption.

I was very pleased with OpenWRT even 5-6 years ago! I am sure that things are
better now.

I really don't understand why there needs to be a newly forked router firmware
project every few years. Back in my day, we used DD-WRT, and it worked.
