Famo.us announced two things at the launch event tonight:

- github repo is now public

- they're letting in the first 75k devs to famo.us community website tonight

The first 75k devs will get 3 invites.

The website contains what they're calling Famo.us University. Tutorials, forums, IRC, etc.

The explanation for letting in 75k devs at a time is to not overwhelm the community with new devs. They want to be responsive to the first batch and train them so the first batch can support other batches. It's pretty brilliant community management and a sane approach to being able to actually deliver on the hype over time.

I think they are only letting 500 people in. There are 75k on the list. I signed up 2 years ago and I am number 74606. Looks like it will be at least a few months till I can look at the documentation

500 or so per day. This number may be adjusted up or down depending on whether we are feeling overwhelmed. However I expect it to rise over time as those that get in early help those that get in later (IRC, forums, etc.). We're planning on getting everyone access within 40 days or so.

Had hoped to give this a try for our new product. Too many uncertain timelines I think to give it a try.
