Please add your name if you have an interest in the following areas. Discussion about these issues is probably best directed to the list.

Mapping system for Dunedin nodes

DrewWhittle and Mike are interested in this.BR Mike is collating a list of people's addresses and will help you find your coordinates so you can be put on the map. Drew is investigating a mapping system we can use.

Setting up an Incorporated Society

DrewWhittle, AlexKing and Selwyn are intersted in thisBR We are looking at incorporating. Drew has a set of rules which we will use as a starting point.

Getting Schools involved in the network

AlexKing and BrettShand are interested in this.BR Schools can benefit from community networking in the same way as individuals and other organisations can. They can improve their internet browsing experience by sharing web caches and experiment with broadband applications between schools (most schools in Dunedin are still using modem dialup links for their internet access). Each school we can get running is a node in our network which helps our coverage, and we are providing a community benefit by helping the schools.
