Let me try to head off another charge of cabalism here before it is alleged: there is no special privilege granted with a @laptop.org address. You don't get invited to secret OLPC planning meetings if you've got a @laptop.org address. There's no secret handshake or secret priority given to the features that scratch your itch. Rather, we have in the past given @laptop.org addresses to members of the community who have made significant contributions to OLPC, both as recognition of their work as well as out of sheer laziness on our part: it's a lot easier to just type [EMAIL PROTECTED] than to try to remember the personal domains of all the non-OLPC contributors. Quozl's "participate more directly" means that he's been a contributor since the first A-test boards (far long than I've been involved with OLPC) and he's earned a spot as a go-to guy when we need help.
