Description

For wifi sharing, users need to get onto the same wifi AP. There is a QRCode standard for representing a wifi network, including the password, in a QR Code. Android's Barcode Scanner app recognizes this standard. Perhaps we should use this somehow to ease the the process of getting on the same wifi.
