Requesting a public mailing list for discussion about repair center infrastructures, and for communication/tip-swapping between different repair centers. The intended audience is people who are running or who want to run an XO repair center. Note that this will ''not'' be a place where people request repairs to be done on their laptops!

We need 10 signatures to start this list, I believe - so sign on below.
