This is a good time for me to stop lurking on this list. We do quite a
bit of wireless measurement at Dartmouth and are currently providing a
repository of WLAN traces (see http://cmc.cs.dartmouth.edu/data/). We
would like to extend this and I would be very interested in joining
any discussion in the IMRG. We've run into lots of problems that I'm
sure others have encountered (privacy, anonymisation, management) and
would be happy to share experiences, learn from others, and help
develop best practices.

I'd also be interested in curriculum ideas. I would very much like to
increase the level of measurement in our networking courses. Like
Jennifer mentions, I'd like our students to have a grounding in
conducting experiments and analysing data. Does anyone have any
examples of successful projects that they have used? For us the most
obvious project would involve wireless measurement, but I'm a bit wary
of sending students out with wireless laptops to snoop on each other's
e-mail messages.

Cheers,
Tristan
