[MLB-WIRELESS] is there ever going to be a central body behind melb wireless

[Matthew Chipman]

Excellent work Will

There are going to be many more sites available if power consumption is not
an issue!

It is also important to have a shrink wrapped starters kit for beginners or
non technical types to plug in and "get a node up" with little or no work.

We also need a list of retail outlets or contacts that supply all the gear
at the right price.   Is there a current list?

It would be really nice if all the people on the list that asked "what do i
do and where do i get it" could be directed to a list that allowed them to
go to a shop etc and buy what they needed without fear of getting the wrong
stuff, and getting that aweful sinking feeling.
