[manchesterwireless] Anyone still active?

[Darren Scales]

As far as I've been here, there never seems to have been any definitive aim
for this group. I think if there was a specific aim, we would all have the
same direction of focus, driving us to actually do something rather than
talk about a very general wireless idea.
I know there was a meeting arranged with only 1 person (i think) that showed
up, but again, nobody knew exactly what this group was trying to offer.

So why don't we all think about what we actually want to achieve, and how to
go about it. Providing wireless service to the Manchester area, which
will....

Once we have clear goals and milestones, we can then think about meetings.
