It's completely different. FONERA aims at creating a global network of free wifi everywhere. To participate you need to buy a FONERA router. Wifis.org is simply a way to communicate with the wifi network owner. You just need to rename your SSID and your neighbors can now email you.

Oh, haha. I wouldn't have guessed something that simple.

People could just name their network after an e-mail address if they wanted to be contacted..
