No doubt more questions may follow from me in the fullness of time, but for the moment I'm building. I'm hoping that I can ultimately help out here. If asking questions of Wiki pages highlights areas for improvement maybe it'll save future people asking the same questions.
A lot of information gets posted on this mailing list and the more of it that gets filtered onto the wiki the less questions there'll be on this list. For the moment looking forward to understanding, and ultimately helping in a more code based way. Thanks for all the good work and help. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
