The mesh will soon be receiving two flutter boards since we funded their kickstarter.

These are 900 mhz fairly long range low bandwidth (i think up to 1 mbps?) boards that can be programmed with a modified Arduino IDE.

These would be pretty good for a low-bandwidth disaster recovery mesh, or for sensor reporting. I'm sending this mail to start people thinking about possible uses.

Here's their kickstarter:

Here's my old write-up for the DisasterRadio project for inspiration (currently in suspended animation):
