## What it is
CommonsNet is a web application for collecting and sharing details about WiFi networks, especially open WiFi sharing terms and legal requirements. It provides a form to gather WiFi information and generates human-readable and machine-readable files that make sharing details transparent.

## Use cases
- document the terms of an open WiFi hotspot
- generate a machine-readable file describing WiFi sharing level
- publish transparent WiFi network details on a website
- collect WiFi network information via a structured form
- check legal requirements for sharing internet connections

## When to choose
- you run an open WiFi network and want to publish its sharing terms transparently
- you need standardized human- and machine-readable WiFi sharing documentation

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained project - the latest release dates to 2018
- you need WiFi network management or monitoring rather than documentation of sharing terms

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: web-framework, templating, form-handling, documentation
- domain: web-development, networking, self-hosted, privacy
- platform: python, self-hosted
