Documentation is a key element of the game and we have some and more in the

Gordon
I'm not sure if there is already a plan for this, but if someone could
create a document outlining the setup, configuration etc that would go a
long way for us that may not be able to attend.
Just a suggestion, and I'd sure be interested in reading it

William St. in Bergenfield from 6:00-11:00 PM on Tuesday night (tomorrow) so
that we can do a "dry-run" or "table-top" exercise of the mesh networking,
computers, IP cameras, radio equipment, power systems and supporting
procedures in preparation for the Fair Lawn Fireworks which are now
re-scheduled for Sunday evening.
