Retronetworking

h1. Retronetworking

Welcome to the retronetworking project.  This project aims at collecting information about old, now mostly defunct (and hence _retro_) networking technologies. Back from the days where not everything was Ethernet, and when there was a plethora of LAN, MAN and WAN technologies around.

This is very much a work-in-progress, started by @laforge with his collection of related equipment and the work to put it all into operation. Contributions are extremely welcome.

We're using this _redmine_ project management system as it provides a way to collaboritively share information in this wiki, as well as the issue tracker to keep track of tasks.

*NOTE:* This page can be reached directly via the shortcut URL https://retronetworking.org/

h2. Child Projects

Some topics have a sufficiently independent scope so that it made sense to create redmine sub-projects for those. Each has its own wiki and issue tracker.

h3. Mailing List

We now have a (rarely used) public "mailing list":https://lists.retronetworking.org/postorius/lists/discussion.lists.retronetworking.org/ for discussion among interested parties. The list has a public "archive":https://discussion.retronetworking.org/hyperkitty/list/octoi@lists.retronetworking.org/ (in case of doubt it's better to use the Forum)
