OK so I'm officially confused and need some clarification from the group.
When I joined the list about a week and a half ago, I thought that the
goal of the project was to create a Freedom Box based on a pluggable
computer like the SheevaPlug or PogoPlug. From what I read, the hardware
platform had pretty much been decided and all that was left was to
create a software stack.
I've been confused about the same thing. As far as I understand, this is
a Debian mailing list for a distro targeted at plug computers, with the
aims of decentrallizing social network services and facilitating network
privacy.
There are even wiki pages:

http://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/TargetedHardware
Now, I'm seeing discussion about using mobile phones, routers, etc and
I'm confused. Are we seriously going to ask people who might not be
techies to flash their mobile phones and routers? Isn't the goal of the
project to make this as accessible as possible?
Is hardware still totally up in the air?
Ultimately, I think it comes down to whomever actually starts putting a
distro together, but I think a lot of this is just talk. I think the
FreedomBox foundation itself is still rallying technical leadership, so
we'll see what happens then
