I'm not for stifling conversation, per se - but in the interest of
focusing this list and the project, I'd suggest there are other lists
for other projects and for the general topic of distributed internet, eg:
http://groups.google.com/group/building-a-distributed-decentralized-internet
Many of us here are lurking there, too.
I'm hoping that they will just install an app on their Android or
iPhone.
People have proven they know how to do that.
I think that may be a worthwhile project, but I don't think it is a
FreedomBox.

We're almost certainly talking about a software stack on top of Linux,
which Eben hopes some enterprising businessmen will then pre-install
on plug computers and sell in shops for $29. :-)
Odds are whatever the FreedomBox software stack ends up being, it will
probably run on all sorts of other hardware too. Some platforms will
be better than others, obviously.
Eben did give a speech and talked about making a FreedomBox; he did talk
about plug computers; funds are being raised for this thing on
Kickstarter; and this list is hosted on a debian.org domain where there
are also wiki pages with specifics (ie. http://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox)
That's not to say that Debian on a plug computer is the only way to
achieve the goals, but I am saying that this list is about the specific
project that aims to do it that way.
