[Freedombox-discuss] FreedomBox Unstable Image 2012.0629 Available

[godswearhats]

Hi Nick,

This goes a long way to addressing some of the concerns I have. On 
Monday (when I'm in work and, ironically, have more time) I'd like to 
take this information and put it in a really easily digestible form on 
the FreedomBox wiki. I know a lot of the pages are currently immutable, 
so I'll create a separate page that someone with the correct authority 
can copy over.

I'll also start creating diagrams to help explain some of the things 
that are going on. I find that pictures are much more helpful than text 
for understanding large, new projects.
