This is the right place. Please apologize as we clean things up. This is a
very fresh site and the paint is still drying.

This is still "pre launch" mode. I was planning on being a couple days ahead
of my current schedule, but have been running into difficulties. This
weekend should really be the "launch" of the site, and more users,
advertising and documentation will be interwoven.

The email list is just precisely the traffic on this "Support Questions"
forum. Technical inquiries from the community answered by volunteers. I
appreciate your feedback, though. Just tonight I've begun adding a 'portal
page' (http://olpc.osuosl.org/) that will highlight links, news and recent
discussion on the forum. This should be the one-stop place you are looking
for. Keep an eye out for it and let me know what you think!
