Well, yes, that's where I got the names from. But it does make one wonder which 
of email, github, BOINC message boards, googlegroups, twitter, facebook, ..., 
..., hold the master ring for that "subtle, planned, evolved" design process 
that BOINC needs. If everyone just bolts on their own "my project needs..." 
without reference to anyone else, aren't we going to end up in the house of 
babel?

I was going to refresh my memory of the current 'contact us' recommendations, 
but I'm currently getting "connection refused" from the BOINC home page.
