A doc on community networks was one of the suggestion we received during
netCommons. We all liked the idea, but lacked the effort and expertise
to lead it. If this idea is renewed, we will discuss it and I'm sure we
will find a way to contribute, as it is in the scope of our project.

I also like the short interviews that Nico is doing while traveling:
