[guardian-dev] Gilgamesh, FireChat etc

[Paul Gardner-Stephen]

Hello,

Serval Rhizome is also targeted at this kind of use case, and is what we
intend to run over these transports.  We are negotiating with a potential
funder to start working on integrating this into Serval.  I don't think we
can get funding to do it completely, but I hope we can get it to a
proof-of-concept.

Paul.
