I might actually be able to go to the Ohio Linux fest... Does OpenAFS
have a booth?

Some of the most common questions on #openafs involve people assuming
that OpenAFS does read-write replication. People go through the huge
hassle of setting up a cell only to find that AFS does not replicate RW.
That being said, I do not know how to put in a good way a list of things
that AFS does not support. Especially for a pamphlet.
Probably would be good to get some space on the pamphlets for sponsors
to cover printing costs. Assuming there are companies that would want
to cover printing costs.
A list of things in AFS that are anonymously accessible (and that people
would care about) might be good.

http://grand.central.org/twiki/bin/view/AFSLore/WebHome states that the
wiki is down. (The links from http://grand.central.org point here.)
Is http://www.dementia.org/twiki/bin/view/AFSLore/ the correct, official
location? I don't supose that something simple like
http://wiki.openafs.org could redirect to there? Or even
http://www.openafs.org/wiki ?
