[freehaven-dev] Got China questions?

["maxentropy3" <maxentropy3@netzero.net>]

Hi all.  I'm meeting with Lin Hai tomorrow, who was involved in his own
horrorstory over Chinese Internet law last year (check google or just the
dfn site).  Guy works in computers and is interested in Red Rover.  If
anyone has any questions they'd like me to ask him--techie stuff I wouldn't
think of, e.g.--please email me before 2:30 tomorrow at nlogn@iname.com
