[wsfii-discuss] P2P and Wireless Systems

Freddy,

Great ideas, thanks! We'll be checking out WSFII/Freifunk/OpenDiv as we
advance ((Echo))MyPlace.  There's lots to do as the prototype evolves.

If folks can get past a little 'goofiness', here's a short YouTube video
that shows some of the mapping features and a very little bit of tech
background - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8c9RThtQCE  enjoy

Regards,
Jeff

Love this discussion!

Yes, I am open to diversity and yes i don't mind using a bit of
Microsoft software (actually i have used a lot of it for 26 years now
;-) )

But unless we know how the routing to map data is done
in((echo)myplace and how much traffic it generates and on what
protocols, i can not use it yet on the Goa Mesh. However ((echo)) is
so close to what some of us WSFII/Freifunk/OpenDiv has been working
on, I will keep a close eye on you guys of The Carbon Project.....

Thanks Freddy,
BTW ((echo)) does look very cool tho
