== Location and status reporting ==
== Splash page ==
 
Something that reports location and status when polled.


We developed this format and easy to publish status data from nodes for our [http://dev.wlan-si.net/wiki/Nodewatcher/NodeTelemetryProvider nodewatcher]. OpenWrt packages are [https://github.com/wlanslovenija/firmware-packages-opkg/tree/master/util here]. [[User:Mitar|Mitar]] ([[User talk:Mitar|talk]]) 22:02, 11 July 2013 (PDT)
We can capture OS specific probes in order to specifically redirect captive portal requests without affecting any other network traffic.

Maybe the last one is optional because some people may not need that feature (they already have another access point and they want to keep it), but then how do people administrate the router?

In order to serve a secure web admin config to home users, we'll probably always serve 3 APs with one private WPA encrypted home link so that users can access their admin page.

:One idea we had (but this is probably better for splash screen) is "adopt a node". Where a neighbor who uses a node a lot and depends on the node can donate some money to keep it up, but can then give a nickname or avatar to the node. Or something.

== Splash page ==
We should have a captive portal so people can learn about the mesh. We have also thought about letting local groups and businesses advertise with location-specific advertisements on the splash page. This could be a source of revenue for the mesh. This should also act as a list/portal for the local services running on the mesh.
Maybe a splash page but no captive portal and give folks the ability to opt out in future connections by capturing their mac address?
