I've had a couple of false starts, but I've been getting more into community mesh stuff recently. I think the tech is really interesting by itself and I have some ideas for mobile adhoc mesh protocols, but finding people to build something with is hard.
Sorry for late reply, been
I got my amateur radio license recently and I just started thinking about this
I don't really know very much at this point tbh but I would also be down to help with your project if you would like
Idk if I could even find enough people in my city who would want to do something like this with me either... although I am willing to run/help people run network nodes based on things other than 802.11 which could help a lot with range (point-to-point radio links, maybe over microwave, more conventional packet radio on the amateur radio bands, LoRa, etc)
We've decided to try organizing the mesh project using briar. Here's my address: briar://adkjcwpltwvnqsjyn3shg3qeytrxxerlsmgl6pk2uw5o3tm3rxuhi
DM me ur ID so I can add u back and then I'll invite you to the forum.
I'd be interested in helping you build whatever you're thinking of...
I'm currently chatting with some folks in a discord server, but idk if I'm able to invite others. I'm planning to spin up a lemmy instance to facilitate more project discussion. Pretty informal at this stage, but our current draft configs are mirrored here and I have some of my other projects on there as well.
I originally wanted to have a cute little cluster of fossil repos, but the forum is text only and that's pretty limiting.
