 I was planning to participate in the xogiving.org campaign, but was
 distraught to notice now (after being prompted by another) buried in the
 FAQ a single note that the campaign is limited to North America.

 Now, as a practical issue, this is understandable, but I'm disappointed
 that a global project like this fails to more prominently disclose such
 limitations. As such, reading xogiving.org, one has no reason to think
 they're disqualified from participation because of where they live. This
 will only lead to disappointment come Nov 12th.

 So, not to lead people on, there should be a notice on the NA limitation
 on the front page. One possible location would be the start of the third
 paragraph, along the lines of "...offering a Give 1 Get 1 Program in North
 America for a brief window of time.", or more verbosely, "...for a brief
 window of time to residents of North America". You get the idea.

 Marking high since the campaign is current events.

 (I'm also the guy who mailed about it. Then I remembered the IRC channel,
 and there people said to submit a bug. So there.)
