one of the topics that came up in the last meeting was the creation of 
a turnkey hotspot to allow relatively non-technical people to provide a 
wireless hotspot, without letting people spam through them and suck up 
all of their bandwidth.  the general concept being; a person can run a 
cd based router w/hostap or something similar off of a laptop or 
appropriately equipped pc and use a web based gui to configure all of 
the interesting elements (available b/w, pointer to captive portal 
content, AUP, etc.).  support would be provided by the TCWUG group.

i thought i'd throw this out there in case someone was looking for a 
fun project for the fall / winter and wanted to donate some ergs to the 
concept.
