[Server-devel] mesh potato

[tkkang at nurturingasia.com]

I was thinking that real testing of the XSCE, mesh-potatoe AP (if available), or openWRT TP-Link  could be done in the wild during the Basecamp at Malacca on Nov 16-18. Can get direct feedback of users with the 20+ XO and other devices from this direct/indirect stress test.

Cheers.. for BYOD
