figured I'd chime in, even though it's late in the discussion.

What I care about:

1) letting people know that sharing wifi is a benefit to the community  
and an easy way of being a good neighbor
2) letting people know that sharing wifi is not only safe but can  
actually protect you.
3) showing people there are ways of sharing wifi that can both protect  
their internal network and decide how much you want to share.
4) letting people know that if we can get together as a community and  
decide to share, we can accomplish some truly revolutionary things.

These are the things that excite me. I'm not exactly sure anymore how  
to do these things effectively within PTP without taking on more than  
I can chew.

Hotspots are great and I truly appreciate all the hard work people  
have put into setting these up and maintaining them. After being at a  
few emergency calls, I realize that the setups are more than I want to  
understand. I'm also not a system administrator / network engineer /  
wireless engineer.

So, do I care that PTP exists? Of course. Do I want to help it achieve  
its mission statement? Absolutely, in as much as the way I spend what  
little free time I might have dovetails with what gets me excited  
about PTP.  What skills I have that might be helpful? Web / software  
development, basic instillations, talking to people.

Thanks for all the hard work,
Seth.
