Re: Chinese input for OpenMoko

Hello,

OpenMoko is developed and produced in Taiwan. And I live in HK.
Both places uses Chinese as the common language.


I would say if this would be a standard commercial product, you are out 
of luck. I don't need to tell you how many products are produced in 
China which never ever target the Chinese market at all.



I'm just curious if there is any plan for Neo1973 to support Chinese input?
If so, in what way? Hand-writing input? Or keyboard input method?

That's where OpenSource comes into the game. Even if there would be no 
initial support, I bet that for within this little group of just 1.3 
billion Chinese speakers ;) there would be at least one (maybe you) who 
is able to port one of the already existing input method editors to the Neo.

This is on our roadmap but I'm not sure exactly when. We actually have a

Now that the product is launched and you have (or maybe not) some
breathing space can we finally get this mailing list configured
properly.

 

At the front of each mailing should be a subject pre-fix that says the
title of the mailing list

Well dear most of are working/have worked in projects which drain even
last bit out. But we still manage deliveries and reduce the delays.
 I am not saying that openmoko team is not doing a good job but the
delay in receiivng phones could reduced a bit. What i said in my mail
is community could have helped in managing this
 As it has been pointed out problem is not delayed deliveries but lack
of cimmunications. If core team cant find out time to develop such a
system/website community membes wil be more tahn wiling to help them.
Though they need to spel out there security concerns, so that a

Another thing I've found with QEMU in general is: take your time.
Click and hold it for a second or two.  If you do quick clicks that you're
used to doing on the desktop, it will often not register at all in the
emulator.

Without such a header I am unable to *visually* distinguish between this

I personally prefer to see my whole inbox and to view and scan all 
inbound content. Not having such a header is the equivalent of not 
having a from column in my mailing lists.


Most mailing lists do this properly.


Munging the subject line is a bad idea.

Of course the other thing I always complain about is that this is the 
only mailing list I am on (out of 10) for which (at least in gmail) 
replies to a thread go to the individual and not the list unless I say 
reply to all - which I often forget because this list is the oddball. 
There have been discussions about this before where others have said it 
shouldnt work the way I suggest or that gmail is broken, but the bottom 
line is that of all the mailing lists I am on, gmail (for me) gets it 
right on everything but this one.


Munging the reply-to is a bad idea.

And thanks Casey - I also subscribe to about 5 or 6 other lists and they all

I also subscribe to a large number of other lists and only 2 of the 20

I disagree that there is anything to be fixed. Munging the subject 
line or reply to fields would be breaking things rather than fixing 
them. There are a number of ways to distinguish mailing list messages 
from each other without munging the subject line.


I don't want to start a holy war on this as I've seen many in the past. 
However, I've yet to see a convincing argument that justifies the use of 
subject munging and numerous convincing arguments that it is a bad thing 
a prone to breaking. If it is the will of the community, I'll deal with it.

subject tagging, than please put the tag at the end of the subject! I

in my mail client) of a high number of messages very very inefficient,
since the important information isn't where my brain expects it to be
(at the beginning!). 
I personally cannot see any benefit from tagging the subject, but that's
probably up to everyone's own preferences in their way of mail handling.

They have the discussions all the time on the Linux Kernel list,  
people asking why don't we use C++, why don't we tag emails etc..


Are you saying that list is stone age? it's not, it's just people  
liking how things are and seeing it work without some trendy new idea.


I filter this list perfectly fine without tags. Tags just let you  
give your email the one over and see if you have any personal mail.

Incidentally, my lack of caring is only relevant to the subject line. I

the first X letters of a topic in your list of emails. Like pretty much

 Another thing I've found with QEMU in general is: take your time.
 Click and hold it for a second or two.  If you do quick clicks that you're
 used to doing on the desktop, it will often not register at all in the
 emulator.

I would think this would work to charge the Neo while in host mode. If 
the hub doesn't support a non-powered host, you could always use yet 
another port on the hub to power that connection (creating another 
loop). It would eat up 2 ports on your hub to do this, but I would think 
rigging custom cables is a bit easier than rigging custom hubs.


Just my thoughts.

It will be if you use a special cable which allows power into the Neo but not 
out of it.

  2) With 4 AAA batteries in the hub You don't want to charge the neo at 
all. If you have wall power You want to fast charge... Can that be

You would only connect the data lines from the Phone to the hub.

You need a cable which allows power into the phone from a PSU, then supplies a 
hub with the USB data lines.

Actually, filtering on Subject is the caveman thing to do. :-)

The following headers are *specifically* added by the mailing list
software to enable you to accurately filter your incoming mail:

 Thread-Topic: Fwd: mailing list management
 X-BeenThere: community@lists.openmoko.org
 X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5
 Precedence: list
 List-Id: List for OpenMoko community discussion community.lists.openmoko.org

 List-Help: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 List-Subscribe: http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community,
   mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Errors-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You should use one of those.  Why do you think they were added to the
mailman software in the first place?

Subject line real estate is a precious commodity.  It should not be
wasted on information that is already available in the mailing list headers.

On the other mailing list topic (Reply vs Reply-All):

When you receive a mail with one person on the To: line and many people
on the Cc: line - if you just hit Reply, you expect it to go to the
*one* person on the To: line.  If you hit Reply-All, you expect it to
go to all the people referenced on the To: and Cc: lines.

A mailing list is conceptually just a very big Cc: line.

If you were to change the behaviour so that Reply went straight to the
mailing list, then there would be no way (other than cutting and pasting
addresses around) to reply to *just* the sender.

My vote is to leave things exactly as they are.  Harald set things up
the way they are based on his experience in being an active participant
in many technical mailing lists.  Do the people suggesting these changes
think that they really know better about how this list should be set up?

Having [OpenMoko-Community] in front of every subject-line gives me no

Changing the reply-to is unacceptable. It has always been that simple:
if I press Reply I'm writing to the author of the e-mail, if I press
Reply All everybody who got the original mail (except BCCs of course)
get's my response. Why should that be different just because the e-mail
got delivered by a mailing-list?

And I don't think that a MTA should be allowed to change any header, if
there isn't a technical necessity.

But what I'm wondering most about this topic is: it was discussed
several times on half of the mailing-lists I'm subscribed to, but the
problem was never solved. But I think that should be easy. Just make it
user-configurable. Is it so hard to write that piece of code and

Re: Fwd: mailing list management

2007-08-14 Thread Mike Hodson
Look I'll vote for not changing the subject line; headers are
wonderful for sorting.

However, when I wish to reply -to the list-, I get a choice of either
-to the sender- or -to the list, sender AND anyone else the bloody
sender sent it to- instead of simply replying -to the list-.

While the wonderful doc that everyone links to regarding why -not- to
munge the reply-to header, they fail to consider the normal way things
work: people discuss list stuff on the bloody list, not off the list,
not to the author only(reply sender), and not to everyone else the
author thought to send a message to (reply-to-all functionality).
Based on this, a -list- is different than a normal message; the -list-
is a discussion group and responses should be filtered into that
group.

For the argument that the person replying will lose the proper path
back to the sender, or mistake sending a personal message to a list,
simply read from and manually type that into the to field.  If a
person is not using a valid From address, yet IS using a valid
Reply-to, then this person is rather strange.

Until my mail client gives me a reply to list ONLY command, I vote
for changing reply-to to BE THE LIST.   To the person who said Learn
to use gmail well thats nice, when the only way I can -reply to the
list- is to manually delete whatever the hell it decides to shove into
the reply headers, and manually type in [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Why not reply to all? Because im rather sure I don't want to reply to
the author twice (as he apparently is on the list) and I don't want to
reply to anyone else the author sent the mail to.  There appears to be
no other way to use this client than simply 1 or all, not simply
'list'.

I personally prefer that people reply to me on and off list - that means
that when people have something to say to *me* (which they denote by
leaving me in the To: list) as well as the list, as opposed to just
talking to the list (which they denote by just having the list as the
only recipient), then that is highlighted to me by ending up in my INBOX
rather than in the lower priority folder where my mailing list traffic
goes.  Hence I see it immediately, rather than at the time when I batch
read and respond to list traffic.

(In this case I have purposefully taken Mike off the To: list from my
Reply-All, because this comment is directed to the list only, not to him
personally and the list - I have no reason to get into an argument with
him about what he wants to do, I'm just giving an alternate viewpoint to
the list about what someone else might want to do).
