When I wrote a guide for new Internet users at Newbie.Net, there were three questions I couldn't answer:

* How to stop spam. So I founded the [http://www.cauce.org/ Coalition Against UCE] (Unsolicited Commercial E-mail)
* How to view all languages correctly in browsers and other software. So I joined Unicode.org and a number of Free Software projects dealing with [http://www.mozilla.org browsers], [[http://www.unifont.org/ fonts], [[keyboard layouts]], [[locales]], and [http://www.pango.org/ rendering software] for screen display and printing, and the [http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/uri/1997Apr/0003.html IETF standards process for multilingual URLs and URIs].
* How to get everybody on the Net. So here I am. I have previously worked on [http://www.barwn.org/ wireless networking], satellite internet, and the Simputer.
