Going to ship the WoT ranking algo shortly. It'll won't be live on the main feed yet but I'll write a little about the model we're using.
Then I'll probably spend the rest of the week doing some of the smaller items from the github issue backlog.

yesterday I released lnsocket, a C library for sending messages on the lightning network. It can currently connect to lightning nodes and send/receive lightning network messages (TLVs).
This weekend I am planning on getting the build working on iOS so that I can make a proof of concept for controlling a clightning node directly over lightning.
Right now it's a bit difficult to connect to your lightning node's wallet: you have to run other software next to your lightning node that connects to it's RPC to send/receive wallet information, channels, etc. It would be nice if your lightning node could give you this information directly over the lightning network, since your lightning network port is already publically exposed on tor or the internet.
All you would need to do is whitelist client pubkeys and you would be good to go!
Maybe one day we could have a blip that specs out a standard RPC mechanism so this could work for all nodes instead of just via a clightning plugin.
