Building A Community Wireless Network From Scratch

adelayde writes "This summer I've been involved in a project to build a community-orientated wireless network in the city of Bristol, England. Recently I published an article ( mirrored here and here) describing what we have achieved so far, including some interesting thoughts on passive repeaters. There is a supporting site (mirrored here) with detailed instructions on how to build antennae, and the main project web site is also available here. A bit of own trumpet blowing perhaps, but I think it'll be of interest to those readers involved in similar projects and be of some help to those thinking of starting their own."

    >I know this has been mentioned in another post, but apropros of this article, the Waterloo Wireless [waterloowireless.org] group is (or was, I haven't heard from them in some time) trying for complete world domination at 11Mbit/sec.

    Any info on how to "join"? I'm relatively interested now I see there's some meaty content there, and my area could _seriously_ use an ISP of some sort (past 21.6k dialup).

    Very interesting project.
