-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 1: I could setup and make jpg's of maps, with radio mobile for a loring park page. or we could just scan some paper maps, and photoshop them.. 2: I was thinking about setting up some kind of signup database, which would be kinda arin+registrar like so that you could signup for an account.. and then it would give you an IP block and setup domain information.. maybe that could be part of the blog/wiki software signup. 3: The U of M has a guidlines page for wifi.. which reserves 11 for official U use, 1 for department use, and 6 for expantion. I was thinking we could use 11 for client-attach AP's and 1/6 for linking AP's together (since this is where it's possible to use high-power ham equipment) 4: eventualy.. if i ever get access to setup the blog/wiki software.. there is content management stuff that we can use to put up such documents. - -ben "Unix is user friendly, Its just picky about its friends."
