   201    201     there (CD and RD).  All but low-level experiments are possible using direct
   202    202     interfaces.  In this way CONFINE helps extend the CN.
   203    203   - CONFINE can also extend the CN by setting up a physically separated cloud of
   204    204     connected nodes at a site controlled by a partner (e.g. campus).  All kinds
   205    205     of experiments are possible using direct interfaces.  Users are warned about
   206    206     the experimental nature of the network.

          208  +* Participate!
          209  +We introduced you to Community-Lab, a new testbed being developed by the
          210  +CONFINE project to support research targeted to allow CNs to become a key part
          211  +of Internet infrastructure in the future.

   210         -- Community networks are an emerging field to provide citizens with
   211         -  connectivity in a sustainable and distributed manner in which the owners of
   212         -  the networks are the users themselves.
   213         -- Research on this field is necessary to support CNs' growth while improving
   214         -  their operation and quality.
   215         -- Experimental tools are still lacking because of the peculiarities of CNs.
   216         -- The CONFINE project aims to fill this gap by deploying Community-Lab, a
   217         -  testbed for existing community networks.
          213  +Community networks and researchers: We look forward to your participation!

   222    220   # Ivan: Describe simple experiment, show diagram (UML-like timing diagram?
   223    221   # small animation?) showing the steps from slice creation to instantiation,
   224    222   # activation, deactivation and deletion for that example experiment.
