I'm working with a nurse from Zimbabwe who is looking to set up a project for her village. Something like this might be useful there.
Its a real project. No money that I know of. But she has offered accomodations and its a real offer. Maybe some of us get to see Victoria Falls. We need to get a mesh running. This is a "worthy" project. We will also be working with more than one university. Her name is Jane. Can we set up a new address for emails on this project? I would like to forward emails.
