The InterMesh is the network of meshes that is separate from the
|
|
internet either functionally (bandwidth/latency limitations) or fully
|
|
(completely disconnected).
|
|
|
|
## Services Needed
|
|
|
|
All these services need to be distributed throughout the InterMesh.
|
|
|
|
I think we should err on the side of "Secure by default". To make it
|
|
easy to grow the mesh we can't really set up encryption at OSI layers 1
|
|
and 2 (getting people to configure that in a hurry isn't going to work,
|
|
though we might have some luck if we did with [QR
|
|
codes](http://skattertech.com/2011/01/quick-tip-use-a-qr-code-to-share-wifi-passwords-with-android/)).
|
|
I think any services offered on the mesh should offer SSL/TLS by default
|
|
(we'll have to go with self-signed certs).
|
|
|
|
- captive portal
|
|
- to let people know about the services we are providing
|
|
- Webmail
|
|
- Something that works like
|
|
[privacybox.de](https://privacybox.de/index.en.html) would be ideal
|
|
in that it's got a short learning curve and a UI that's easy to use
|
|
from a smartphone or PDA.
|
|
- Twitter equivalent
|
|
- [status.net](http://status.net/)
|
|
- Common chat networks
|
|
- AIM compatible eqiv.
|
|
- Gtalk compatible equiv.
|
|
- Facebook chat compatible equiv.
|
|
- In short, IM-over-HTTPS.
|
|
- IRC
|
|
- [Mibbit](http://www.mibbit.com/) or something that works like it.
|
|
- [CryptoCat](https://crypto.cat/) I think we should get in touch
|
|
with the person running this project.

|
|
- Streaming audio (low priority)
|
|
- Yes, I'd plug my police scanner into my computer and stream what I
|
|
pick up.
|
|
- Voice over IP
|
|
- Asterisk
|
|
- Configure a conference bridge that people with softphones can talk
|
|
on.
|
|
- We'll have to test what kind of latency we get with such a setup.
