ok, well.... also Funkfeuer has a /32 v6 space... so there is plenty of this.
I think we can share some in case you need :))

Yes, we could help the community Wi-Fi networks in this respect.

Well, we know already that the main problem for small community Wi-Fi networks
to get public v4 (and also v6 space) is the problem that the RIPE membership costs
easily 2000,- year. 
As said above, I see no reason why we can not share some part of our v6 space with other 
community Wi-Fi networks without the high costs of RIPE membership (some sharing of the 
common financial burden us generally a good tone within our community - and this also lowers
costs for everybody ). The other question of course would be if the community Wi-Fi network 
can get v6 upstream access (and v6 BGP peering ).

OK, here is a simple table (which can be copied to a wiki and eventually end up in a DB :)


Network name          | Country   | City       | point of contact      | peering points | AS  (if available) | IP Ranges (separated by ";")  
Funkfeuer Vienna      | Austria   | Vienna     | (spam-protected)    | VIX            | AS35492            | 78.41.112.0/21; 193.238.156.0/22

... insert yours :)
