 Replying to [comment:7 erikos]:
 > So, on machines like the XO-1.0 we will use the mesh as the hardware
 allows to. On the XO-1.5 we will present the user with the three adhoc
 networks, as there is no mesh hardware available. The XO-1.5 and XO-1.0
 will see adhoc networks in his neighborhood view, so it the XO-1.0 can
 connect to an adhoc network that has been created by a learner on the
 XO-1.5. What we removed is the option in the device palette to create
 adhoc networks, as we have now standard ways of creating networks without
 infrastructure.

 Do I understand correctly that in order to let XO-1s collaborate with
 XO-1.5s now an XO-1.5 user needs to initiate the connection as there's no
 way for the XO-1 user to create an ad-hoc network? If so, that seems
 cumbersome and confusing to me.
