Hi.
I really love this project, but since (as most of us here, i imagine) i'm
only a "simple" student, i can't afford to buy two Neos. So i will wait 'til
october. But I would like to have some possibility to develope something in
the meantime. Since this is all open source, i imagined to find thousands
of tutorials, howtos, step-by-step-descriptions, and so on. But the only
thing i found is a "look at gtk"-sort of thing. Not onyl there aren't any
Developer tutorials (on how to create something), but even there aren't any
descriptions of how to "use" what's inside the phone right now.
If somebody has any help on how to start programming some (simple) apps for
the OpenMoko, without having a FIC at my disposal, i would be pleased to let
my creativity flow.
p.s. maybe i could also write some tutorials, or translate existing ones..
but i must have "THE KNOWLEDGE" to do so.
best regards, Stefan Insam
p.p.s. Sorry for my bad english.. I'm not a native speaker.

Hi Ramses,
Well, it's perfectly possible to develop applications without having a
Neo at your disposal. Since all libraries are based on glib/gtk (see
http://www.gtk.org), which also serves as the underlying libraries for
GNOME, you can indeed start with learning GTK, possibly using a python
or perl interface if you want to get going quickly.
Once you're a bit familiar with this you can build the openmoko base
system (see http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/MokoMakefile) and 'emulate'
it all with
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Getting_OpenMoko_working_on_host_with_Xephyr
or http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Getting_OpenMoko_working_on_host_with_Xoo
If you want to do more then simple GTK apps, I suggest you start
looking into the code of the Neo using svn. It's open ...
Regards,
Marc
