I know how projects such as this can appear to be simple to implement when the reality is much different - that is why my response was a dream one. And I agree that it makes sense to take time to get it right. I would love to find out who to contact at ALA to volunteer my wireless technical skills to assist councilors. I would even offer to type up a FAQ or some such document if I had enough background information about basics around the service. And while my wireless knowledge is limited to Windows, I am sure that we could scare up a Mac expert (hmmm, "paging Michael Stephens"?) to cover the main bases (I am making the assumption that anyone bringing a Linux device can get it working). So, could you suggest who I should start with as far as contacting someone? Or should I just throw my name and e-mail out there as a volunteer and wait for the councilors to contact me?

Good idea! If I were planning to attend ALA, I’d be one of those volunteers. Good idea!
