said libre-mesh.org was available. none of us 3 liked the hyphen, but it was the best we could do we agreed we'd need to be very consistent in the "long, canonical name" to always include the hyphen and avoid confusion, then pau said a shortname was needed as well, suggesting "lime" - *that's* when the name really stuck with nico and me :P

after several weeks, i realised the similarity to open-mesh.org and thought of it like a funny coincidence;

given the good relationship we have with batpeople, i'd even put it as a tribute :D i wasn't aware that it was now available. If it really is, then i agree we should register it. cheers! _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list Dev(a)lists.libre-mesh.org https://lists.libre-mesh.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
