The WirelessCommons was started by AdamShand, BrucePotter, PaulHolman and CoryDoctorow and is primarily defined by their [http://www.wirelesscommons.org/node.php?id=2 manifesto] which was released to the public in December of 2002.
Their goals are still being decided and defined but documenting how to start a community wireless network as well as attempting to define exactly what a community wireless network is, are probably amoung them. -- AdamShand
