   This could be as simple as a wifi router that runs independent
   DHCP/XMPP/BitTorrent/etc., coordinated direct connections for file
   sharing/serving (SparkleShare, i.e. git over SSH), etc.
   Or it could include peer-to-peer client wifi connections.  Or the
   router devices and/or portable devices could form meshes to get
   extended range and more of an internet/Internet.
   The simple case isn't hard.  I've been thinking of doing the same thing
   for Burning Man: Resilient, mesh, usually disconnected, store and
   forward when disconnected, secure + public, fair, prioritized traffic,
   opportunistic but bulk Internet capable networking in harsh
   environments and random usage patterns.  Add store and forward to an
   XMPP server, plus email, some file transfer and usenet like flood
   propagation (using bittorrent protocols/methods), and you'd have a nice
   independent communication network.
   Layer authentication / crypto, features, and applications as desired.
