Since desktop systems are decreasing in popularity, notebooks are at their top attractivity and UMPCs/Handhelds at the horizon, I think we have to put a little more public emphasis on smaller embedded devices.
I think the main problem for the GNUstep developers is to have a common handheld device platform to develop for. I know some of you have a N770 or N800, some others have a Sharp Zuarus. But I don't know of anyone to own a Neo 1973 (besides me). To change that, I want to offer something to the community. My company still has some brand new Acer n30 devices in stock and does a stock clearing sale at 99 EUR each. And I have the Letux Linux distribution (based on Angstrom / GPE) which converts the n30 into a nice Linux PDA. It fits onto a >= 256 MB SD card. So, I suggest that everyone who wants to have such a developer platform, gets one, I provide the files for programming Letux on an SD card and we can organize ourselves towards developing embedded GNUstep.
