Whenever I start learning about a topic, I am often amazed by the depth of knowledge of those who know about the topic. A whole book could probably write on any one of those subtopics. I bet a book could be written on all the different ways to use light poles as a mounting option for wireless mesh networks, or how the wireless mesh network was implemented in Mesa, AZ (the politics, development history, people, technical details, etc). So that was the longerish answer to your question, but yes, definitely.

Structural Review
Having taken a quick look at the structure, I'd say it looks quite good. I like how you have a navigation template at the top of each page. That will help the reader feel in control when reading the book. I am not as familiar with the topic as I'd like to be, but it looks to be a thorough outline. If appropriate knowledge is placed in the proper area, it looks as if it could be a great book. Great work! :) --Remi 19:18, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I'll be with you soon...
I've been just hopping on and off the last few days, but I have read your questions, and I'll reply soon :). -- SB_Johnny | talk 23:20, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Wireless Mesh Sensors
Dear Kgrr,

I am planning a sensor network project that will probably be wireless, so I am happy you started the Wireless Mesh Sensors wikibook.

However, I'm a big fan of the big buckets first style of organizing. So I'm going to start merging Wireless Mesh Sensors into a chapter of the Wireless Mesh Networks book. Even though you and I both know that, someday, that "Wireless Mesh Networks" book will grow so large that we'll need to split it up again again later.

Thank you.

David, I will start working on the Wireless Mesh Networks book now that I've finished a few key wikipedia articles that needed to be finished. I would prefer that the Wireless Mesh Sensors and the Wireless Mesh Networks books be kept separate because they are really very different technologies although they share the mesh element.

Please reply...
I've responded to your post in Talk:Wireless_Mesh_Networks please reply if possible... --Panic (talk) 20:31, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Would like to work with you on Mesh Network Wiki
Konrad, my name is Francis Dacosta. I am the founder at MeshDynamics and am credited with the whole multi-radio meshed backhaul concept (which has been patented by MeshDynamics). Would love to work with you on this. I would like to give back to Wiki. My regular email is fdacosta@meshdynamics.com or fdacosta@gmail.com, my cell 408-373-7700, lets chat when you have time.

Cheers,

Francis.
