Hi, guys, and Michael in particular. I'm fairly new here, but I have a NEO1973. I'd like to participate, and help OpenMoko become the best cell-phone platform ever. However, I'm having trouble getting started, and I suspect others feel the same. In particular:
= While having Michael in the e-mail group is wonderful, where's the equivalent of Linus? The "appropriate powers" need to be involved for community efforts to succeed. The appropriate powers should be exactly one guy (or girl) who participates right here. - I do not have any significant visibility into the development effort. Software seems to magically be updated with no discussion trail I can find. I can't seem to find who maintains what part of OpenMoko, or what exactly is being worked on, or what the short and long-term roadmap is. - Waiting out here in end-user land for tidbits of information to leak out is dumb. I'm an open-source developer, not some fan-boy waiting for cool features to magically appear. Is this an open-source development effort or not? To participate, I need a fire-hose of developer traffic I can pick through. It must exist somewhere... the distro-devel list has less than one post per day, and it seems to be mostly about bug-reports from the community. Is there some hard-to-find or secret list that we open-source guys don't know about? I don't see how the effort could have gotten this far without better communication. I basically want leadership and visibility. If the information I need is considered a corporate secret, I'll find someplace more useful to lurk.
