Hi!
That site is completely freifunk-specific.
Because it is starting from there.
I am probably biased though. :-) But in the past they had already a nice
planet (blog aggregator) and I know few networks (including wlan
slovenija) who were part of that. So I don't have a feeling it is just
freifunk specific.
Site appears to be in german only.
Currently. This is called international diversity. :-)
No easy way to add your own community to the mesh
(need to use an
api).
Pull request against:
https://github.com/freifunk/api.freifunk.net/blob/master/directory/director…
What is easier?
No info on the different meshes except for a link.
Have you checked the schema?
https://github.com/freifunk/api.freifunk.net/blob/master/specs/0.1.json
And of course, schema can be worked on by communities.
This does not even seem to be an attempt at a global
community site.
Interesting, I got a feeling that they are trying to be. They were eager
to translate into English the GitHub README, once I told them that this
would help others. :-)
Yeah, but maybe forking
hackerspaces.org would be
better.
As you want. I am just saying that some people are already working on
that and that it is really hard to maintain such lists. I know because I
tried one:
http://interop.wlan-si.net/
There is then simply:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wireless_community_networks_by_region
Which was viewed by many as good enough.
And now freifunk is trying to improve on situation. So making a site
which uses the same API and same directory is probably reasonable. But
doing one new directory is probably not. Because the question is who
will maintain that directory.
