I've cc'd this to ccn-ip to include them in the discussion. I've also spoke briefly to Sue Newhook about contacts she has with other community networks... it would be good if any scale we use is relatively consistent with other community nets. My inquiry today is not IP related, I expect it would be a straight donation associated with new(or used) equipment or part of the price of that equipment.
