Found it very interesting almost like a home away from home. Some similarities to CTWUG

They have a website
Map - not even close to wind.ctwug.za.net
We are both not for profit entities
We use rocket and irc to chat they use slack (works in browser and is an app on andriod)

##This was in their FAQ

##What can I do on the mesh that I can’t do on the internet?
It is possible to connect directly to other people on the mesh without using the internet. If for some reason the internet is shut down by a fascist dictator, the mesh will still work. Internet shutdowns are becoming increasingly common in the world.

The mesh has small web servers that show local information and allow you to chat and post messages. So far we have servers in five locations- Harlem, Bay Ridge, 3rd St. and 7th St. in the East Village, and our main directory “wiki.mesh” in Williamsburg. We are in need of volunteers to help add content and maintain our servers.
