thread_title:  General 

message: Hello.  I am interested in possibly contributing to this article, but I wanted to ask here first to avoid any misunderstandings.  
The subject of wireless mesh networking is broad.  A group of WiFi enabled computers can form a wireless mesh network or a group of battery powered sensors can form a wireless mesh network.  Currently, the example approach to a mesh architecture which is presented in this article is too complex to meet the needs of some embedded applications such as automated meter reading, where node cost and long battery life dictate a set of restrictions that wouldn't be found in the WiFi based example.  In other words, there are a host of considerations and approaches that are appropriate for the battery powered mesh network variety but that are not even remotely mentioned in this article.
I would propose to add information related to battery powered, low cost applications and solutions for wireless mesh networks.  I believe that many readers of this article would be looking for information related to these sub-topics and would not find that information here.  For example, in the application section of the article, the only real application mentioned is VoIP which is probably the least practical of all applications for this technology.  
So, unless someone has a problem with my modifying this article to include additional information related to approaches to battery powered, low cost wireless mesh networks, I will go ahead and make my edits.
Also, as a last aside, I know that it is basically taboo to link to commerical products or projects as evidenced by comments on this page.  However, for readers interested in learning about commercial, not just academic, solutions which are available, it makes sense to me that there should be links to commercial products or projects if those links offer the reader genuine information that is something more useful than a sales pitch.
I have a user page and a talk page, so you can comment there if you like or here.  Either is OK.  I am new to Wikipedia, so I accept the fact that I might not fully understand the whole point of these articles.

thread_title:  Freshness of information 

message: I thing that is only important to show what is mainline of protocols.
And only protocols that are currently on real tests no virtual simulations only protocols.
Like
AODV - Ad-hoc On Demand Distance Vector
DSR - Dynamic Source Routing
OLSR (Optimized Link State Routing protocol)
TORA (Temporally-Ordered Routing Algorithm)
The others are to be only in the Ad hoc protocol list

thread_title:  Protocols. 

message: The majority of the article (2nd and 3rd paragraph of introduction) deals with mesh networks in general and not about wireless mesh networks particularly. This information should be moved to the Mesh networking article, and information specific to wireless mesh networks should be put here. --Soumyasch 13:00, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Subject Matter 

message: hi!
I am from funkfeuer, a project which is very actively researching into mesh routing and closely cooperating with freifunk (olsr). I wanted to add a link to http://www.funkfeuer.at below the freifunk link and some 
self acclaimed "wikipedia cleanup" person deleted it. 
Sorry, but this behaviour basically destroys wikipedia.
My link is not advertisement, we actually do contribute to freifunk, OLSR, we released our own wireless mesh ISP software on sorceforge, we are currently researching into 5GHz multichannel mesh solutions which will be ~ approx as cheap as the linksys.

message: Editors regularly clean out undiscussed links from this article.  Please discuss here if you want a link not to be cleaned out regularly.  (You can help!)
I am concerned that some of the external links comprise WP:WPSPAM and "me too" websites that are not notable.  This wireless article is by no means alone in this.  I'd like to kick of a review and discussion about this with a view towards tidying up the list.  Any identified sites could then be removed from other articles, if appropriate.  Alternatively, sites already removed could be re-added, if such a consensus emerges.Nelson50 16:11, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Discuss links here 

message: I thought of this idea of cheap little mass-produced, solar-powered, weather-proof mesh networking nodes distributed around cities to provide free Internet access and such everywhere (free VoIP calls from Wi-Fi phones to compete with cell networks, etc.)
Someone else had a similar idea for developing nations and started Green WiFi, which is related to the roofnet and $100 laptop projects.  This probably deserves its own article.
Another similar idea? — Omegatron 15:38, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

message: It seems like shared mesh and switched mesh don't really merit their own pages at this point, and the information would be more usefully presented as part of the main topic here. On the topic of merging, it may also be worth considering a merge of history of wireless mesh networking. ENeville (talk) 00:33, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
