Just so we have an idea, how many people on this list live in the city
proper and would be willing to sink some money into a wireless network?
It should be a given that if you put money into it, you would get
something out of it -- we're not asking of "investments". 

Would you be:
A) willing to buy an antenna for yourself AND some kind of equipment for 
a rooftop/repeater setup? 

Or would you 

B) just be happy to utilize the network?

* NOTE: you might not be able to be B without being A. We'll need a lot
* more As than Bs at the beginning.

I suppose pretty soon we'll start a mailing list for this project, and
then we'll need people's street addresses and/or what they're willing to
put into the project so we can start doing some physical mapping of
distances and locations.
