I think he's after a sentence or two or three that summarises Consume's 
goals.  (ie. "build a communications system run by, and for, the local 
community").  Obviously, it needs to be something a layman can grok easily.

Btw, I have my Linksys WAP11 at last, as well as a Sharp Zaurus (+ 802.11b) 
and also a D-Link 900AP.  Toys :-).
