Good point, I'm jotting it down so I can have a look when cleaning up  
for 1.0

True, but you need to know that we have planned to (after 1.0) add  
the concept of a hotspot, which will regroup 1-to-many nodes (radio  
transmitter, WRT). Thus pretty much eliminating the word node for the  
general public. Of course, it will still appear in the  
administration. I've been told the same about node or noeuds in  
french nobody but geeks understand the word ... So definitely this  
will be improved accross the board. In other words, you will connect  
the any node inside a hotspot, then will be shown the hotspot's  
portal...

I'll have a look, but I'm wondering if we ever mention Wi-Fi  
somewhere in the pages ?

Thanks for your comments, it's appreciated.
