Hello, it's my GCI task. I have read something about the context variables and I think I've understood what is it about, but I don't really know what's the point of this issue, it's really well explained how do these variables work there, should I improve this doc somehow, or should I write something like a tutorial? Could you point me a little?

@pawelplsi the section at http://netjsonconfig.openwisp.org/en/latest/general/basics.html#context-configuration-variables explains the configuration variable from the point of view of a developer using the library netjsonconfig.

We must now help non developers who are using OpenWISP to understand how to use these variables via the OpenWISP UI.
