I just joined the WorldPossible Rachel Forum (http://community.rachelfriends.org/top/all), and posted the following in the hopes of forging some sort of alliance at the Forum Level for a viable joint venture. I hope something develops.
Hello Rachel Friends - - I just joined the Forum, and want to talk about Outernet's L-band system. To clarify, I'm just an interested IT person who thinks both systems are incredible education contributions to the undeserved on this planet.
To be perfectly blunt, currently Outernet lacks stability, and hasn't delivered a well packaged device. Many of us Outernet followers have packaged our L-band terminals in containers the size of a cigar box; and power them from AC USB power cubes, LIPO battery packs or solar power arrays.
Some of us plug Rachel (32GB-EN) on a USB Flash Drive into the Outernet terminal board (called the Dreamcatcher), and accessed all the Rachel modules that way. This is a perfect match of both systems that can be done now. Updating Rachel through Outernet makes sense to us, but how to orchestrate it and technically do it escapes us.

I hope some of you followers can see merits in this idea. Ken
