[Commotion-dev] Commotion Android UI Testing

[David Oliver]

Andrew, thanks for putting this together.

Dan's comments are good.  For me, personally, it's hard to understand how
much we want to, or need to, "make of" the mesh network.  Sometime down the
road, we hope it will be "invisible" like WiFi, but for not it's key that
we develop and understanding of how it actually works on mobile devices,
and if users are able to understand its basic properties and failure modes.
 Therefore, in the current testing, the network IS prominent.  Perhaps your
start--up guide will need to say this.

Dave
