Line 4: Line 4:
  * use something other than perl (too big a foot print)
  * use iptables rules to track inbound/outbound traffic volumes (currently outbound only?)
  * eliminate redundant crap
  * make user experience smoother
Line 8: Line 11:
  *   * news from pt
  * authorization persistence across reboot
  * pitch
  * state is maintained in perl data structure
  * mobile version
  * logo(s)
  * terms of service
  * twitter

The Splash Page is rendered during the node configuration process.

The current thought is to put the splash page up on github someplace.

Two parts:

  • Captive portal mechanics:
    • use something other than perl (too big a foot print)
    • use iptables rules to track inbound/outbound traffic volumes (currently outbound only?)
    • eliminate redundant crap
    • make user experience smoother
  • Splash page:
    • opportunity to pitch people on creating new nodes
    • news from pt
    • authorization persistence across reboot
    • pitch
    • state is maintained in perl data structure
    • mobile version
    • logo(s)
    • terms of service
    • twitter
