Sorry, I missed that. Thanks for the quick reply.

Yes, please change the first line to read "Mer is a new operating
system for small, mobile touch-screen devices. IT FITS ON 2 2GB SD
CARD".

:o)

The FAQ is too far down.

Clearly a FAQ should be a different page from About.

And I have no problem contributing to a Wiki, what ticks me off is
registering over and over and over again for each separate wiki. The
wikisphere should design something similar to OpenID. Hey, why not
enable OpenID? Hence if I have an AIM or GMail account, I can log-in
without re-registering...

Of course, I could have registered by now in the time it takes me to
write this reply, but as someone once said "computer geeks are people
who can spend a couple of days to code something that saves 4
seconds".
