Hi everyone,

[community.openwrt](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/community/openwrt/) 0.2.0 was released last evening ([Middle-Earth timezone](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/new-zealand/auckland)).

One of the major issues with this code is that, being shell-based rather Python, it is trickier to “import” the supporting machinery, needed for example to parse and produce JSON content. The `gekmihesg.openwrt` role was performing dark magic overloading internal methods of Ansible’s action plugin code, whilst version 0.1.0 of this collection was brute-forcibly templating the modules’ code into the `wrapper.sh` file. This release brings a much more elegant solution: the wrapper code became a module in itself, and all the regular modules use a standard action plugin that redirects their execution to the wrapper, passing the target (shell) module as parameter.

Other than that, the modules’ docs have received a good dose of attention, and are starting to look fairly good. Still some room for improvement, of course, but we’re getting there.

Anyone interested in collaborating, by all means take a look at the collection’s repo:
