Iran 2009: Opportunity for those with technical skills and/or access to servers to help.

A small group of hackers, IT specialists and others have joined together to help keep the lines of communication open for activists in Iran.

Eric S. Raymond is hosting a page for NedaNetM:

This is the resource page for NedaNet, a network of hackers formed to support the democratic revolution in Iran. Our mission is to help the Iranian people by setting up networks of proxy severs, anonymizers, and any other approprite technologies that can enable them to communicate and organize — a network beyond the censorship or control of the Iranian regime.

NedaNet doesn't have leaders or a manifesto or even much in the way of organization. We're not affiliated with any nation or religion. We're just computer hackers and computer users from all over the planet doing what we can to help the Iranian people in their struggle for freedom.

NedaNet does have contacts on the ground in Iran. We are actively and directly cooperating with the revolutionaries (though for obvious security reasons most of us don't know who the contacts are). By helping us, you can help them.

The group is especially interested in support from anyone that can provide bandwidth for proxies and/or Tor gateways.

There is an IRC Channel available for open discussions (#irantech on Freenode) if you want to know more.

Warning: Several people involved in this project have already received death threats from people believed to be agents of the Iranian regime. Only get involved if you can reasonably insure your own safety.

Any/All help is appreciated.
