Japan in Crisis | tokyohackerspace calls for help

Their site appears to be down at the moment; it occasionally gives MySQL "too many connections" errors.

I received some information about their idea via the Tokyo Linux Users Group mailing list. You can read the email here: http://lists.tlug.jp/ML/1103/msg00288.html

EDIT: Uh, the page is not rendering well... Here is the relevant info: "Tokyo hackerspace has now come up with a plan for how we are going to help the earthquake victims. In the short term we will be focusing on three areas: light, communications and the mental health of children. Here are three practical examples; we will be making solar-power lanterns and chargers, as well as creating communications networks and providing coloring books for kids. We need donations, publicity and expertise."
