Hi Edward
The artisans evocation is not an accident: ) And I share your feeling of
fellowship, commonness and community.
There are all sorts of problems associated with taking the Net as a
'place'...however, billions of people now spend a lot of time 'here',
inventing, socialising, working, playing, committing criminal acts and
so it feels necessary to start thinking of the net as a place (and it is
actually emplaced in the cables and computers that constitute it), and
working out who and how the rights and obligations of its users and
creators could be negotiated.
Thanks Rob for the prompts and pointers at people and projects that are
starting out in this direction.
cheers,
Ruth

All true @Edward, all true… but, I leave with you with the following

"I believe it’s time to reconsider their potential, and make mesh
networking a reality. Not just because of its obvious benefits, but
also because it provides an internet-native model for building
community and governance."
