Neat idea.

Some questions I have about it:-

* How do you ensure quality? Given it's a one to one service, there is no 
way of knowing what the helper is saying to the novice. No way for others to  
step in and "correct" the help as there would be for mailing lists, irc, 
forums and the answer tracker.

* Who puts up the cost of calls? I note you have a big "donate" button on 
your site - does that money go to reimburse people who have spent hours on 
the phone? Is this not a worry for you due to low-cost/free call plans you 
may have?

* Do you use traditional phone or VOIP solutions?

* Will you be producing any stats for how many calls you guys make, and to 
how many customers and their duration. This could help other locos to decide 
whether to do this :)

Cheers,
Al.
