Equipment

Since this is a free project and there is no profit to be made , to buy hardware.
It is going to become difficult!!!

If you have an old PC laying around, it can be used to build
a Flexible Linux Access Point. So Please don't get rid of it Keep it for now.
Even a 200mhz P2 will do.

Wifi cards aren't that expensive but if you have one and not using it keep it :)

This is my Idea, If you have Ideas please share it.
If you are willing to join and your house sits on a hill it can be used as a high site. so if we can find some one willing to join that can be used as a high site please let me know.

Seriously if you have hardware laying around that can be used please keep it we can use Linux Backtrack to convert the PC in to an access point, and other users can connect to it using their
Wifi Cards

I wont always be available, Work social life ect...

If there is any one that would like help manage be my guest.
No offense but this gets technical. So please have technical background :)
when wanting to help manage.

Thanks

What is Project WiFi all about ?

First of all this is not FREE!! Internet.
The aim is to create an open wireless network.
And anyone is welcome to join.
Creating such a network has endless benefits and possibillities.
Imagine playing a quick match of CS:Source against your mates miles away.
Free chat, free possible VOIP
Free game servers,
Fee libraries for kids at school.................
But for this to work, we need support.
Any one is welcome, every joiner creates part of the network, and makes it grow.
So if you are interested, please leave comments.

Thats it for now
