We're already implemented this. The web admin interface is fairly minimal, allowing changing the ssid and password of the private access point. We have solved the issue mentioned above (primary access point best located in center of house) by having optional [[extender-nodes]]. Node-owners can also just buy two nodes and put them in different locations.

I think we should stop right before the freemium model [[User:Juul|Juul]] ([[User talk:Juul|talk]]). We are still discussing this.

Our mesh will definitely be internet-connected. It if wasn't then it would likely remain a curiosity for tech geeks and at best be useful in a disaster scenario unless someone can come up with a mesh service that's alluring enough to warrant disconnect from the internet and connecting to non-internet-enabled wifi (maybe really good pirate file sharing servers).

sudo mesh is now a California non-profit. We should apply for federal 501(c)(3) non-profit status soon. The network itself is separate from sudo mesh and is called People's Open Network. sudo mesh will take incoming donations and develop the sudowrt firmware for connecting to People's Open Network, as well as other mesh services. sudo mesh will run [[VPuN]] servers and try its best to get fast internet piped into the network. sudo mesh will sell cheap pre-flashed routers and organize volunteers to assist with rooftop node installations. People's Open Network has no legal entity (but we may trademark the name to protect it from mis-use) and anyone can become part of (connect to) the network as long as they agree to a simple Free Network License (yet to be defined but likely based on the [https://commons.thefnf.org/index.php/Network_Commons_License Free Network Foundation's Network Common's License]).
