I'm wondering if these things have been done already that TCWUG could potentially use. 1. AP mapping software, something simple and not based on a GPS or longitude and latitude coordinates to map the locations. It would be nice to setup the Loring park gateway with a web site that could provide the information to park visitors. 2. A way to distribute AP configuration settings via internet. Something to deliver dhcpd, web caching, firewall, captive portal, VPN settings to TCWUG AP's. 3. Use guidelines for 802.11 channels. Channel 11 for business oriented use, channel 6 for public and 1 for personal? I do not think this is a bad idea, probably futile but it might be nice to make some kind of coordination effort. 4. A good location for AP configuration documentation, something about various distributions and captive portals. I know you can find the stuff on various sites but I have not found site with the Holy Grail of AP documentation. Also: Would it help to work on some TCWUG OS, captive portals, web caching, VPN, hardware, or antenna recommendations? Maybe we can get a sound off on what projects people are working on and if TCWUG can help. Are there are projects people would like to see done? I know I'd like to setup some open AP's by the light rail stations that are coming. I've been working on a hardware collection for TCWUG. Currently, I have 5 Pentium 100 boxes and 1 Athlon 1100 box that are available to TCWUG projects. Maybe we can create a TCWUG inventory page on the web site.
