TechLaunch Update -- Apps are IN

Thank you to all of the wonderful agencies that applied for new servers and Young Explorers through our TechLaunch grant this year. We just finished entering the data into the T4T supercomputer and it is busy processing.

So, for the purposes of spam control, T4T is testing the Mollom comment spam protection service. Hopefully, this will both reduce website spam and make life easier for site visitors...
