What does HUMBUG have to do with running Firefox on Windows, though? It's
already easy, so there's not much installation help needed; I don't
think there's anyone in HUMBUG any good at hacking Firefox [0], and I
suspect even if there are no one's good at hacking it under Windows;
I don't think there's anyone in HUMBUG who does much plugin development
for Firefox, either, though I could easily be wrong there. What's left?

I guess one thing that could leave out is introducing people to less well
known/easy Unixy/open source stuff on Windows (OpenOffice, Thunderbird,
VNC, putty ssh, [that's all I know of, I'm sure there's more]). Don't
know how many existing members know stuff about that though.

Cheers,
