Instead of insulting OpenMoko application developers who are just starting to use OpenEmbedded and are not an OpenEmbedded guru such as yourself, why don't you do one of the following instead: 1) Point them to the how-to-use-collections-in-openmoko tutorial (tutorial, not reference manual pages) on openembedded.org that replaces the parts of the pages you are concerned about. Don't just point them to the openembedded.org homepage, point them to the tutorial that they need. Update the referenced wiki pages to point to that tutorial page. 2) If such a tutorial does not exist, then modify the referenced wiki pages so that they *do* contain correct information. It's a wiki. If you consider yourself part of the OpenMoko community (as opposed to just a build system provider guru sitting in an ivory tower) then you have the same responsibility as anyone else to correct misinformation on the wiki. If you're the person who knows the information is incorrect, and who knows the correct location of a tutorial that fully replaces the one that some new developer wrote on the OpenMoko wiki, then one can only assume that the reason why you don't fix it is because then you would have nothing left to complain about ... -- Rod (who didn't write the text in question, and has never used collections, so cannot fix the page with correct information)
