[wsfii-discuss] freifunk video now with subtitles in various languages!

Tue May 14 18:50:55 UTC 2013

Hi,

Congratulations for the video. I also added Catalan translation.

Just a comment regarding the terminology used. In guifi.net community we
stop using the "wireless" term when we refer to community networks for
several reasons. The main reason is that it is an unnecessary constrain;
better to stay technologically agnostic; what if we want to integrate a
new technology, let's say optical fibre? Another reason is that the less
technical the general name is the higher chances to get non-technical
people involve since the general name is the first reference for them.

All in all, I strongly recommend to simply and systematically use the
term "community network/s" since it is more inclusive, both, from the
technology used and the social point of view, and doing so we contribute
to standardise the concept.

Kind regards.
