Hi (sorry dont have a name for you)
Understood - and challenge of course is that its hard to get
involved if there is noone there to help onboard.
There is interest in disaster resilient comms here in Australia
and I'm involved with some of the resilience work (in a
non-technical capacity), I've also worked with ESP8266's before
and I believe the ESP32 is similar.
Disaster.radio looks like a more appropriate solution for
disaster setups than meshtastic, the typical use case I'm
interested in, is as an alternative to the net when the net goes
down, so connecting an existing device via to a wifi access point
makes more sense than assuming everyone has a mesh device and
connects to it on Bluetooth (which I think is the meshtastic
architecture). I also like the idea of a web-app because the
maintenance becomes something many people can contribute to, and
it should work with any device.
Can you clarify what the current state is - i.e. if I got the
boards, built a pair of units, and flashed it - then would the
chat and map apps talk over it. If I can get to that step I can
probably demonstrate it to some other technical people and get
people enthused to collaborate, if I can't get it to that step its
going to be much harder and rely on me having a decent chunk of
time to contribute before getting anyone involved.
By the way ... I notice there is a bad link to the enclosure on
https://disaster.radio/build/ which goes to
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000429348282.html?spm=0.8937489.0.0.10992e0eaAUWs6
which doesnt exist. Do you know of another source for enclosures.

The project lacks a maintainer with enough time to really give it the care it needs.
I've been spending my free time trying to modify the firmware for the v3 dual-module prototype, it is slow-going.
Other LoRa boards seem to work pretty well with the firmware in its current state

I tried to find out what was happening with Disaster Radio, by asking here - got zero responses :-( its really hard to figure out if there is anything going on that is useful to connect with :-(

I do have the impression that those on the list wish there'd be more activity, and that most of them sort of hope to contribute. I of course do not speak for the coalition. Perhaps you can tell us why you're interested and what you'd like to see as highest priority.
