Press Release: October 16, 2008

The WNDW team is proud to announce the release of the second Arabic
translation of Wireless Networking in the Developing World. This is the
latest contribution to the growing collection of WNDW translations,
which also include English, Spanish, French, and Italian.

In the developing world, one book can often be equivalent to a library.
Access to books is difficult where there are few libraries or book
stores, and there is often little money to pay for them. By releasing
this book for free under a Creative Commons license, anyone is free to
download, print, update, or redistribute it. We hope to reach the widest
possible audience, spreading the knowledge of low-cost wireless
networking to those who need it most.

The book, "Wireless Networking in the Developing World" is just one part
of the WNDW project. In addition to the various translations, you will
also find community forums and additional material on our newly
redesigned website, http://wndw.net/.

The goal of the project is to help jumpstart wireless communications
infrastructure projects all over the world by providing information and
resources to the wireless community. Join us to help bridge the digital
divide and bring wireless network access to everyone.

The publication of this work has been supported by Canada's
International Development Research Centre, http://www.idrc.ca/.
Additional support was provided by NetworktheWorld.org.
