I've cc-ed the CUWiN Development e-mail list since folks on there will know if 
the SSIDs will cause problems -- my understanding is that you'll want to 
standardize on _one_ SSID otherwise you'll end up with 2 separate networks; 
could someone send along a definitive answer on that?  Meanwhile, if there are 
specific questions that need answering, definitely drop a line to the -dev list 
-- it might be good for a couple of folks who are working on the deployment to 
get on that list since you can get answers pretty quickly to most questions.

I think that's a great idea.  If you have the time, go for it!
