[FM Discuss] very good free book on wireless networking

[adam hyde]

hi,

This is a very good book:
http://dk.wndw.net/download.html

Its open and free, developed by some people at WSFII
(http://www.wsfii.org/).

I met Tomas Krag, one of the writers, at the Open Translation conference
over the last days. The book is very inspiring as a model for the type
of sophistication of content achievable in free documentation, and also
I found the model they used for creating the content very interesting.

Essentially Tomas and the other author met in London for an event. They
paid a friend to go on vacation for a week and used their apartment. As
I understand it, everyone stayed in the apartment and they spent the
week designing the structure of the book and began writing it. The book
was then completed with individual chapters written remotely by each
other and submitted for editing and layout. 

I think its a very interesting model, and perhaps one we should think
about for creating material...

At the moment the book they produced is not being maintained and I asked
Tomas if he would consider hosting it on FM...

On that note, I think people at the event were pretty impressed by the
toolset and content that we have. It was good to talk to Tomas as he
immediately understood the power of what we have and what we are
building.
