Is Tethering really occurring though? Wifi Tether is named as such
because you enable your device to be tethered to as a wifi hotspot/node.

In this case, the goal is to enable your device to participate in the
mesh overlay of the adhoc wifi networking, and I think the "Tethering"
word might confuse people as to the point of the app.

I suppose you could say as a node in the mesh you are extending the
network by allowing others to "tether" on to you... except they are
still first class participants in the mesh, and not a secondary leech.

Why not just "Mesh Connect" or "Mesh Client" or... MeshBot! :)
