A note on the MeshCore name
Two camps use the MeshCore name. The core developers run meshcore.io, the docs, the blog and the GitHub repository, and say "the only 'official' MeshCore is the github repo." A former team member runs meshcore.co.uk and MeshOS, and has filed trademark applications that the core team is opposing. This site links to both where useful, but only calls something official if meshcore.io links it. The core team's account.
