I agree with this. I've been deep into tech for many years as well but I
simply never had much to do with DNS other than on the client side using
gethostbyname() and friends, so it's all been new to me. I run a couple
of T2s now and I think I've got most of the basics ironed out. I have to
agree it was a challenge at first with not really understanding some of
the terminology and some of the fundamentals.

I agree that something that would be a little more appliance-like or so
would probably attract a lot more T2 operators.

On the client side, On the Windows(tm) side particularly, if we had a
setup wizard to get people through the Windows client configuration, I
think that would be huge for getting new end users. Way more people will
use it if you can point your friend to a link and say here just run
this, click OK, OK, OK, and you'll be all OpenNIC'ed up.....

Would it be possible to form a sort of working group to tackle some of
these? Many hands make light work.

I am up to my eyeballs in projects and deadlines but I could spare a few
cycles here and there. If we could break these sort of things up into
smaller chunks and get a few people hammering at them....I dunno....
