In good ARG methodology. You can see "Dharma Initative" hidden at the bottom of the list of projects. All the projects subsequent pages is in the format "first letters.html" Meaning http://www.thehansofoundation.org/di.html should have given a project page for it. But of course it doesn't... Thats what makes the website quirky and intresting but not an ARG. Nothing to solve without them giving it to you.
Yeah, I tried that too. However, Alias turned out to have an ARG attached, so you never know.

any update on this?
obviously the TOS points to disney, but for one...is there any evidence to support that this is not a crazy fan? everything looks legit, and it has all the makings of a great ARG, what with Lost having a very obsessive fanbase, and a very intelligent storyline.....i just don't want to get my hopes up, only to find out this is all bogus.

Appears legit. The orientation film now appears when you click on the link for Dharma Initiative.

The three line symbols on the Dharma logo are the 8 Trigrams of the Bagwah (probably wrong spelling) I remember my friend used to have these symbols all over her school books. I can't remember exactly what the are but you've got earth, wind, fire, water, metal, wood... and some others.
Dont think it matters, just wanted to let you know
(BTW, I couldn't see any mention of this, however please trout if it's already been mentioned on the other threads)

Also on a side note theres ideas throwing around about the books seen during the ep (searching for the film)
Turning of the screw is one of the books, film adaption called "The Others", and also its about a woman murdering her children to protect them from madness or of that sorts....sounds like Rousseu (french lady)

Over on 4815162342 message forums , someone did a DNS/Reverse DNS lookup, and found out that hansofoundation.org is being hosted at Bigspaceship1.com .
The fact that the morse code in the title bar and the flash music changes every 108 minutes (like on the show) makes me wonder.
Is there more coming?

but still no clue as to whether or not this will develop into an ARG?
having watched lost from the very beginning, i see the world of ARGs as a perfect fit for this crazy show. it would be wonderful to see the creators of this show develop a game that would provide more insight on some part of the gigantic lost puzzle...let's just hope we see more clues pop up soon!

Registrants are ABC and Disney. Didn't know that Disney has a share in Lost, but there you go.
4815162342 grabbed www.thehansofoundation.com .
If I go to www.Bigspaceship1.com now I can listen to Desmond's wake-up song...and those change?
Morse is: HELP ME, OBI-WAN KENOBI YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE
Very funny.

Disney owns ABC, and thus would have a stake in Lost.
Supposedly the music (Desmond's wakeup song - I heard a Peter Cottontail coded message to the Rodent Revolution) and the Morse change every 108 minutes... from what the guys on the forum have seen, there is "HELP ME OBI-WAN, YOU ARE MY ONLY HOPE," "HANDS ALONE," (as people read it, Han Solo ), amongst others.

The morse on the title...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
THE ICE DOES NOT FLOAT
I'm trying to work out what numbers are being said.. Man it's hard... If you listen to the whole thing it said "This is a secret broadcast" "calling all rabbits" There's a whole lot of weird stuff on this. I wish I knew how to break it down!

I heard "rodent revolution" in that one, did a google(tm) and found a site which lists all the numbers and shows you how it decodes.
