We present a proposal on deploying and maintaining a permanent experimental testbed with the main objective of improving community networks quality. We expect to test here: mesh routing protocols, firmware configurations, specific topologies, reproduced bugs, decentralized applications on top of the infrastructure and other useful experiments that serve community networks needs ''The battlemesh community testbed experience.
