Thanks Dawn!

To add to that: in the forum, keep an eye out for the MeeGo Greeters [1]
!  You'll recognize them by their custom MeeGo avatars (meegons) [2] with
a "G" badge.

The MeeGo Greeters concept is simple: maintain a list of links to useful
resources in one's forum (or even email) signature.  The more you post,
the more you spread help!  Without spamming of course.  ;)

Feel free to add yourself to the list!
