[Commotion-discuss] Examples of node naming conventions/systems

[Preston Rhea]

pIn Mount Pleasant and Red Hook, hostname and AP naming works like
this: SLUG-Name

In Mount Pleasant, every node starts with MtPCWN and is followed by a
name that the owner / host of the node chooses. So,
MtPCWN-TowerofPower, MtPCWN-1825Ingle, MtPCWN-Paloma.

in Red Hook, they've finally settled on RHWIFI-NAME. With Quickstart,
it has to be a -, not a _, between names. And spaces aren't a great
idea in hostnames.

But there are other options of course! You can also name every node
with the same AP and it will appear as only one SSID.
