over on the
ptp list, there’s a
suggestion
to put a wiki clone on the
nocat
box which manages the
“captive”
portal:
“One of my plans for a long time has been to deploy a wiki/weblog/forum (something along those lines) on each nocat box to act as a neighborhood forum. Given the geographic boundries of wireless I think that this could be a pretty powerful tool. In the Lucky Lab it could be used for customers to chat, for the Lab to post specials. In a neighborhood it could be used for neighboorhod events (block parties, news letters etc). What would it be used for in pioneer square?”
the suggestion of a wiki is timely, since the
jspwiki is now sporting an
xmlrpc interface. and it’s fun to contemplate what other things you could throw in the box – perhaps
caching and a
jabber server? hmmm.
