What is a chromebook? A piece of hardware?

Anyway good job :)

I searched news.gwene.org, and there is no suitable
hit for "chrome" what I can see. There are some Linux
drivers but I suppose that isn't it. Or is it?

    gmane.linux.drivers.unichrome.user  (and -.devel)
    gmane.linux.drivers.openchrome.user (ditto)

If it isn't, I suppose you could try

    gmane.emacs.announce

but that group has only 59 posts...

But that is also going about it the wrong way!
If there is an up-and-coming
Chromebook-whatever-that-is-DIY-community then what
you should do is, take a break from the porting
hacking and get a mailing list up and running.
Then submit it to Gmane. And last, you don't have to
even ask where to post the news :)
