    This web-site is the creation of many anarchists across the globe and
    is a classic example of the power of freedom, equality and mutual aid.

    It is produced by a small collective of people
    who work on the FAQ when we can (mostly in our free time, after work).
    This means that any e-mail sent may take a while to be replied to.
