[DisasterRadio] hello

[Mitra Ardron]

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.

- Mitra
