It's interesting that they renamed the HSMM-Mesh to hamnet. Germany/Europe uses that name.. they have had an extensive network for several years:

Good stuff out there!
Looks like the Swedish & Canadians have had GRE tunneling working through BBHN Mesh nodes : http://www.ssra.se/upload/hsmm%20scripts.pdf

Here is another non-ham mesh project. Called "Quick Mesh Project"

A bit dated but does a good job summarizing what MESH is and what it's good for:
