Hi All, Very interesting thread on the wireless, mesh and collaboration technologies.
I think part of the discussion is a debate about what is the best technology to achieve our goals. In terms of what the goals are, I wrote a definition of what I think our collaboration needs to do at: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/9.1.0_Collaboration_Requirements The requirements are focused mostly on scale but also touching on ways people collaborate. See also: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/9.1.0#Collaboration_2 and http://wiki.laptop.org/go/9.1.0#Collaboration This will be an important focus of 9.1. Any additions, comments or edits on the requirements are welcome. e.g. RF environment could use more details and power consumption is not covered. John's bulleted list may also be a valuable addition to the requirements if its not covered already. Feel free to edit the page and sign your edits or leave a suggestion on the talk page. My questions for this thread are: 1 - Which technology can address all of these requirements? 2 - Which technology can get us closest in the next few months based on the available engineering time and existing code? I'm interested to know what people think is the right solution given unlimited time and resources. I'm more interested to get agreement on what we can nail down and promise as a working set of features usable in schools when 9.1 becomes available in ~6 months from now. We don't want to do a lot of work that we throw away later but we need to settle on a usable set of features and capabilities that we can prove work reliably.
