Writing things down is important, but takes time, and emails take even 
more time :)
At the battlemesh, I was left with the cristal clear conclusion that the 
bandwidth of information flow in a physical meeting is incomparable to 
any other kind of communication
meeting >>>>> video >> voice >> chat/email/etc

in a week i learnt much more than i could have read in a year, let alone 
write down

The executive summary of what we envision for libre-mesh (guys just like 
you Mitar, which met for the first time in april, and in a couple of 
physical afternoons agreed on a common working ground, after months of 
mail-misunderstandings) is published on http://dev.libre-mesh.org/, and 
is soooo similar to
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Firmware
that i think if we meet, in an afternoon we'll be working together. 
until then, let's start writing down... code!

so, let's show each other code, and i'm confident all doubts and 
questions will settle themselves out, or be discussed over real, 
concrete designs and experiences :)
