I don't see any issue with RADIUS and communities with less ressources.
On the contrary. as soon as you use RADIUS, you get all the
documentation available everywhere on the net. you get all the expertise
that is available.

it is more a question of packaging than anything else.

The more you reuse what is available, the less you need to start
documenting, which is the main issue with communities with less resources.

I think v2 could heavily use RADIUS and have a wifidog-v1 gateway (i.e.
a small web script in php/perl/...) to gateway the requests to the
RADIUS backend. that way, a v2 server can serve both zap-v1 and zap-v2
at the same time.
