Important: how compatible is the XO's Ad-Hoc networking with generic Android tablets/phones and generic/vintage cheap laptops already out there in the world? Any other low-to-medium complexity protocols we should be considering, for XO-1.5 and higher especially, that might plausibly sail with a few weeks of hacking? (that is if a genuine WiFi hotspot brings more compatibility) Anyway: scalability's not a requirement (in this case!) as such community libraries are tiny, having a couple WiFi devices attached generally, rarely more.
