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

The Splash Page is rendered during the node configuration process.

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