New Linux hamradio related website.

[Ralf Baechle DL5RB <ralf@linux-mips.org>]

One of the things that are really bad about the Linux packet radio code
is it's distinct lack of reasonable documentation.  So I've setup

  http://www.linux-ax25.org

The site is a wiki meaning that everybody after creating an account can
edit the content using a simple markup language.  To get started I've
primed the site with the content of the old ham-radio and AX.25 howtos.

I'm eventually planning to host more software and projects such as my
AX.25 kernel work on that size but for the moment the wiki is what
actually is there.

What is the site intended for?  I'd like to phrase it more general than
the domain name may suggest, anything related to Linux and amateur radio
is welcome.  Documentation of software, hints on how to get things to
work, background on why things are or have to be the way they are etc.

A potencial future wiki project would be a translation of the wiki to
multiple languages in spirit very similar to wikipedia.  It would be
simple for me to setup multiple parallel sites - but starting such a
project would be foolish without the manpower to keep all translations
in sync and maintained.  Is there enough interest?  I would expect that
answer to be yes at least for some of the major European languages as
shown by the large number of existing translations of howto projects.

So, I'm posting to this list in order to ask others to contribute to the
site, even contributions as small as a spelling fix or a healthy discussion
are welcome.

PS: The linux-ax25.org domain used to be owned somebody else previousl.  I'm
    not associated with that person or group.  In fact I don't even know
    who they were.
