I think this is what the list was intended for, but as you noticed it moved in a different direction. > So, I ask, was the whole NanoNote thing a flash-in-the-pan episode > of wishful thinking?

AFAIK Wolfgang was the driving force behind it, and he silently disappeared (or at least, I didn't see him leave, he just never posts on the list anymore). I believe he meant to produce the next versions. I don't know why it didn't work out. > Last time I asked about it I was told something like 'they > tried and you're evil for not appreciating the effort that's gone > into this,' but that's not really a helpful answer. The first half is true, they did try. Asking what happened is not evil, of course. > Is there a point in me still waiting on this mailing list to see if > anyone's going to pull their finger out and make the damned thing, or > what? You never know what'll happen, but as far as I know, you shouldn't be waiting for it. Nobody is working on it, I think, and nobody is even thinking of working on it. > The actual reason why I'm writing to you like this is that since the > project fizzled out to nothing, I've been a member of this list, > waiting to see what was going to happen, and in the meantime I've > been constantly bombarded with emails from the list, talking about > projects I don't care two sugarlumps about. You're talking about Anelok, I suppose? I really like those mails. It's a completely different project, and I'm not sure if I would like to have one. But I very much enjoy following the process of developing an open hardware device. However, if you don't, I would suggest that you unsubscribe from the list. The next version of the NanoNote is not coming anytime soon, it probably isn't coming ever.
