3 | 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. |

5 | 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. |

7 | 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. |

11 | 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. |
