   I've had a similar idea for a while, however more so from the side of    
   complete communication/internet collapse.   
      
   One way I have thought about is setting up or some how distributing    
   instructions on how setup a wireless laptop/router sa a wifi hotspot for an    
   adhoc network. So that all the computers on the network basically make up a    
   big huge (W)/LAN.   
      
   Also the other idea I had was taking something from say the P2P community    
   and making a decentralized BBS network. Developing that on a bootable secure    
   linux distro with a preconifgured BBS.   
      
   That way you could go pretty much to any computer, plug in the USB stick,    
   load up a pre-installed linux distro with a pre-installed and configured BBS    
   that would then "search" for other BBS/Computers so that you could    
   communicate using the email, or preconfigured newsgroups.   
      
   The reason for the Bootable preconfigured is that you don't really know what    
   the condition of the PC you're connecting too. Say you end up at a local    
   library after a collapse (This whole egypt thing got me thinking about it    
   again.) Being able to plug in and at least communicate would be amazing    
   achievement.   
      
   Also if someone with a packet radio then had some type of internet access    
   you could at least get some type of internet communication going. Although    
   I'm by far from a programer, and wouldn't exactly know where to begin.
