From what I remember of the IRC conversation (have logs, but it's late) the idea was to provide communications and intelligence support to various protest/rebel groups, kinda like what Anonymous (claims they) did during the Egyptian protests. Anything more strike me as "Fen save the poor oppressed peoples yay!" which feels insulting to the real people doing this stuff while we're bullshitting on the internet, y'know?
