[MLB-WIRELESS] Possible use for the network

[Ryan Abbenhuys]

A few years back I ran a reasonably popular PHPnuke site at AAF when I was 
connected into the group around Knox.  It was also accessable via the 
Internet to certain others.  We had a forum, news posts about anything and 
everything, details of a few game servers I was hosting including Unreal 
Tournament, Battlefield, and Tetrinet. Also an IRC server that I was working 
on linking to an IRC server on the melbournewireless.org.au server so that 
we could have people conversing between the wireless network and the 
internet seamlessly.

There's a few ideas for you.
