We should definitely document IP address allocations.  And we should start
as soon as we start handing them out (trying to sort it out later is a
right pain).

We should also _definitely_ plan for connecting Melbourne <-> Geelong.
Actually I think we should plan for connections to the world, but that's
another story...

Putting my personal preference for globally routing IP allocations aside
for the moment, I would suggest that "everything above 10.200.0.0" is
rather a lot of address space to be giving out (even if it is "private").

Perhaps we could start with 10.200.0.0/16 instead (i.e. 10.200.x.y) for
Geelong and allocate Class C blocks out of that (e.g. 10.200.1.0/24) for
individual Geelong sites.  That of course only allows for 256 Geelong
sites, but this is a problem I'd _like_ to have and we can always move on
to 10.201/16 (or allocate smaller blocks per site in the first place -
/26's or something).

I don't see any problem with publically accessible network documentation,
especially for a public, community network.  Now, access to _maintain_ the
documentation is another story.  It occurs to me that DNS is a great way
to distribute public network documentation...  :)
