Yup. This last point makes me think of another important thing: To add
a page for what's needed for local volunteers to do. Doing it right
now...

As for the connection, we still are not certain (Claudia Landa is
working on getting sponsorship) - I am almost certain we will have one
or more DSL-type connections with Telmex. I am requesting at least
6Mbps, symmetrical. If we don't get the sponsorship, we will start
looking at the alternatives, but Telmex is by far the most important
ISP in Mexico. We will control 100% our connection, they don't block
any ports. I don't think we will get one real IP for each of us - We
can make it with NAT, maybe we can get some fixed IP addresses, but I
wouldn't bet the house on it. If we need them, speak up now.
Regarding wireless: No encryption is needed. We will set up our own
infrastructure. Oaxtepec does not care much about it. I think we
should leave the net open, or at most with WEP.

Ok. From all this hardware, what do we already have or can easily get?
What do we have to find a sponsor for (or buy in the worst case)?

We can handle this through Comas, as long as the authors cooperate -
Just ask them to upload their material to their proposal, and we are
set.

Yes, I'm working on it right now :) Well, I'm working on some details
re: the person - but I will have this soon.
