As promised here begins the large status update that has been promised.

The last few months have been a little bit crazy with work but in my spare time i've been taking various approaches to building the software for a remote aid deployment system. Many of these attempts were unsuccessful but taught me many a lesson about designing the system around the limitations given whilst also being abstract enough as not have to depend on a particular mesh networking system.

As such all domain specific responsibilities are encapsulated in a daemon that runs on each system connected to the network that helps to accelerate data throughput through the use of cache and latency/speed-based connection sorting.

The user interface was amongst one of the hardest things to do and after several false attempts at building an intuitive interface that offers what is needed I have finally settled on a combination of python and pyqt4.
