This is an old revision of the document!
* The WiFi Roach Coach: wherein we hack together a wimax modem with a wifi router and a rechargeable battery, and stick the whole rig in a backpack, to create an ultra-mobile wifi hotspot with uplink. We'd also build other backpacks which repeat the wifi signal from the "uplink" backpack. Also: costumes. * MediaBox (aka HAL, halproject.net), a network-attached storage device (Linksys NSLU2) that we deploy alongside a wifi router to offer localized "rich media" (does anyone use that term anymore?). * Tunneling: passing all traffic over an OpenVPN tunnel, so that it can't be messed with by whoever's providing the connectivity (and can't be traced back to them). * Pretty visualizations: digging deep into the wifidog database to look at the stats that we're collecting, and creating new ways of visualizing the information -- both to gain new knowledge about how people are using the network, and also in order to make pretty images. Also: auralizations. * Community portal pages: finding new data sources, importing new data, watching how people use it, comparisons with other captive portals, surveys(?), etc. Community portal pages are still what excites me most about Wireless Toronto.
