	Community - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		A community is a set of people (or agents in a more abstract sense) with some shared element — in particular a group of people who live in the same area is a community.
		In community, interaction is informal and spontaneous rather than procedurally formalized (such as in bureaucracy), an end in itself rather than goal-oriented (such as in interest group or advocacy group).
		When people describe a group as a community, it typically implies or evokes some sense of harmonious, egalitarian social form sharing their values and lives.

	Wireless community network
		Wireless community networks are the largely hobbyist-led development of interlinked computer network s using wireless LAN technologies, taking advantage of the recent development of cheap, standardised 802.11b (Wi-Fi) devices to build growing clusters of linked, citywide networks.
		Such projects started to evolve in 2000 with the availability of 802.11 equipment, and are gradually spreading to cities and towns around the world.
		These projects are in many senses an evolution of amateur radio and, more specifically packet radio, as well as an outgrowth of the free software community (which in itself substantially overlaps with amateur radio), and share their freewheeling, experimental, adaptable culture.
