Just a quick remark: please don't concentrate too much on gta02-core when planning organizational structures for the future. The focus of gta02-core is not on making the next big phone but on opening the process. The few pieces of hardware gta02-core is planned to produce would be a proof of concept that we've succeeded to meet that specific goal but they will likely be of little practical interest to anyone who is looking for a substantial improvement on the GTA02 as a day to day phone. Once gta02-core is complete, there are several paths that could lead to a mass-produced phone. Some could be very quick, others quite slow. Mass-producing a phone requires a lot of money, so at that stage, the direction would also depend on the goals of investors or sponsors and on an assessment of the target markets. An organisational structure should allow us to keep assets across projects. This will also encourage keeping technical projects small and focused. I use gta02-core as a reference when discussion specific needs, because of the project's narrow scope. If a plan doesn't work for gta02-core, it probably doesn't work at all. But a plan that only works for gta02-core wouldn't be much better either. - Werner _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
