OK - so the Mesh idea didn't run on the Raspberry. Software didn't run at operating system level.
So without the Operating System, thinking about local-village applications makes no sense ......
or does it??

I moved o to thinking about the applications FIRST and worry about Meshing later.

Managed to get a complete PBX Phone system running on the little Raspberry. It's not as powerful as a full blown BT exchange but it can handle 10 concurrent calls.

I can connect a bundle of smart phones using WIFI and a soft-sips-phone package and they can call each other.

Next I'm working on outbound and inbound trunks to around-the-country (whilst the internet is working)
and then think about pieces of wert string and tin cans when the Interweb goes down.

I'll keep you posted
