Sorry, maybe I was a little to the point on that blog post. But I and several others had a big discussion about Openmoko and their way of communicating things. Mostly (and that's only my experience) when something new is announced, the developers goes crazy and the first week is the most active week of the new direction. So I had hoped to see the first steps of the new direction by now. Now I've looked almost everywhere (or everywhere I know to look) and I didn't see any start of a changing (No new posts on the bugs trac). So I was a little disappointed.
Also I had promised myself to do a weekly roundup for the community, so sorry if a weekly update is to fast. It's just what I said to myself to do. So John Lee: If openmoko is busy with their 'back to basics' plan, than the post was to picky. It should been written more smooth. Sorry it wasn't. But by the things that were public at the moment, I couldn't know Openmoko was certainly busy with their 'back to basics' strategy. For the people not knowing where we are talking about, this is the blogpost: http://onlinedev.blogspot.com/2008/10/is-openmoko-working-on-there-back-to.html Minh Ha Duong wrote: > > Dear John, > > I agree that the blog post, and especially the title, was closer to > low-level sensational journalism than to international diplomacy.
