Purpose of these files
======================
They describe all Freifunk Franken communities (https://freifunk-franken.de/) in a standardised way, the so called Freifunk-API.

Freifunk-API
============
For more information about the Freifunk-API see https://github.com/freifunk/api.freifunk.net/

* the Freifunk-Karte (https://www.freifunk-karte.de/)
