Leaving the Openmoko community, new wiki-admin needed

2010-08-31 Thread Marko Knöbl
Dear Openmoko community!

I have previously worked as the administrator of the Openmoko Wiki for the last
year. Unfortunately I have to announce that I will stop my involvement in the
Openmoko community and so a new admin is needed. The reason for leaving is
quite simple: I broke my FreeRunner last weekend at a party. Although I
enjoyed my time with it I won't get another one. (Instead I'm getting an N900
and hoping for MeeGo or Debian + FSO to provide a free OS for this device soon)

As I am leaving a new admin is needed in the wiki. The main task for such an
admin would be deleting pages which are either outdated or spam. More
information on the process of deleting pages can be found here:[1]. If you are
willing to assist the community by taking over this task please contact a wiki
sysop and request more rights on the wiki so you can delete pages. I think
Joachim Steiger (Roh) is the one to contact for this purpose.

I will continue the task of deleting unwanted pages until someone else will get
admin rights - but not longer than one month.

I wish you all the best for the future. It has been great to be a part of this
project!

OT: As my involvement in the Openmoko project is over I'm searching for new
challenges. I'm planning to take a break for several month now, but afterwards
I might consider writing some documentation again for some project related to
N900. So if you're working on a related project and need assisance with
documentation just contact me and maybe I'll join.

I don't know exactly what's broken - I just can't register to the
network anymore. Probably it's just the antenna. However I think it
wouldn't pay off to get it repaired. And as far as I know the official
MeeGo-releases for the N900 will be completely open source, so it will
be almost as open as the Openmoko devices. And I can't wait for the
next version of the FreeRunner because it was my only phone and I need
a working one again.

 Excellent. Fortunately Nokia provided me with a development device,
 so I'm in possession of an N900 since monday. Lets see whether we can pull
 something off.

 In any case, if you have some spare time, I'd appreciate taking a look at
 the
 FSO wiki, which covers the feasibility of all kinds of anti-vendor-ports as
 well.

It's great to hear that Nokia provided you with a device! I didn't
epect that from
the creators of oFono!
I'll consider contributing to the FSO-wiki - looks like that would be much less
work than working on the Openmoko wiki.

 Hi!

 Sorry for an ugly post.

 Now that I also decided to go for SHR I was requested [1] to check if
 the SHR user manual is factually correct.

 So here are some comments:

 SHR (Stable Hybrid Release) is here to provide you with Root
 FileSystem images that you can easily install onto your Freerunner to
 use as a daily phone. It's filled with prepackaged software that can
 be installed upon demand by users

 So I can off-line install the packaged apps? No, I bet you mean that
 is has stuff pre-installed and you can get more from the
 repositories..

 Reading http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/SHR_User_Manual#SHR_Specific and
 I already have the feeling that this hass too many tech stuff.. 'root
 filesystem image', 'ophonekitd' - is that stuff really required here
 to be able to use it? I prefer a nice smooth experience, easy for
 beginners too. Do I now need to go and find out what's ophonekitd?


 http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/SHR_User_Manual#Stability
 Maybe the difference of testing and unstable should be written here,
 not in the introduction?

 btw. a screenshot (or logo when there is one) would be nice to see on
 top of the manual page, it just would make it again a bit more
 appealing.


 http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/SHR_User_Manual#Installation

 Maybe the differencies of lite and normal image should be explained
 _before_ you tell where to get them? And somewhere later tell how to
 upgrade -lite to normal

 AFAIK only -lite images are currently available? (ok, dos1 explained
 newest fat images were broken and he removed it)

 Maybe 'source code' should not be in the 'installation' chapter but
 more of 'devel' or something like that.

 Image content: it'd be nice if there were links from the items to home
 pages. What's illume? What's vala-terminal? What's pythm?

 Installation: it might not be a bad idea to remind people to upgrade
 the phone firmware and QI/uboot (and maybe tell which one is more
 popular - see http://www.doodle.com/svvsubwnyn4zaxd3 )

 Anyway, these are the files I flashed:

 flashing.

 I'd like to be able to have a dir on my uSD and mount it automatically
 as /home (on om2009 that was the folder bind-home on uSD) but I guess
 manually editing fstab will have to do. Maybe that should be explained
 somewhere here?

 How come the check of version is explained before the booting process?

 booting.

 Initial setup:
 Some lines about the possibilities there would be nice.. How on earth
 do I know what profile to select? Or what 'quick launch' is? Or why do
 I have to see screens where I only can select one item? ('irc' told me
 that the quick launch menu has no effect.. nice...)

 rebooting.

 Screenshot showing the wrench would be nice.

 The manual explains directly the wrench options - maybe SHR settings
 would be more important for usual settings instead of double click
 stuff etc..

 Maybe explaining SHR post-installation SCP commands could be done on
 SHR post-installation page instead of the manual. I think it's enough
 to explain what is it and why to run it and then link to the page.

 It isn't also told anywhere to run opkg update;opkg upgrade.

 Post-installation script would run opkg update, not upgrade. And
 here's a discussion telling the benefits of the script:

Re: Additional editing guidelines for distribution manuals (Was: SHR first experiences user manual)

2009-08-27 Thread Marko Knöbl
 i am not sure if you guys really know what you are talking about:

 navit and sms-sentry have been in shr since long time ago. navit
 always needed several tricks to get it working (issues reported) .
I'm aware of that. However I think the guide on using Navit and
sms-sentry should not be in the SHR manual, because these applications
are not specific SHR-applications.
 elementary-alarm issue has also been reported long time ago ffalarms
 providing a working solution, as mentioned in the manual.
This was only an example I mentioned. Being too lazy and too
uncreative to come up with my own example I just used an existing
obsolete issue as an example.
However I think I explained this in a very complicated way. What I
wanted to say with that guideline is: You can include workarounds for
an existing bug into the manuals if you want to, but please report
this bug to the bugtracking system as well so it can be fixed there as
well.
Another example might clarify this: in the section Audio: Volume I'm
told to set control 4 from 110 to 120. If 120 is indeed a better
setting for all phones (I didn't try it) this should become the
default setting in SHR. While I think it's okay to have the SHR manual
explaining how to fix this I think this should also be integrated into
the default installation. Therefore a bug report should be created
which requests that change. If the bug is fixed this section can be
removed from the manual. If the developers decide to leave the volume
at 110 then they will have a reason for that and this part should be
deleted as well. But the current situation is not very good: SHR has
the default volume at 110 and the manual is telling the users to set
it to 120.

 i think we started with the shr user manual with the full knowledge
 that the stuff moves under our feet (see another post few minutes ago
 about someone not being able to download for install). we wanted to
 get a platform for tweaking and updating. rather then making guidelines
 about guidelines, just


 1) correct factual errors
 2) help to fix issues so they don't need workarounds
The second point is exactly what I'm trying to do with the new guideline

 also, we still have lots of users who did not install last weeks image
 and run shr with what was available then (two weeks ago).

 the page certainly does need attention, i am only not sure if this is
 the right way to spend time...

 thank you
 Petr

 Hi,

 Thanks.

Hi and welcome to the Openmoko community!

First of all I'd suggest subscribing to the Openmoko documentation
mailing list.[1] It's not very active but there are interesting
discussions sometimes.

Furthermore you can take a look at the Wiki Issues page[2], though
this page hasn't been updated for a long time.

As you are new user I think you could help by reviewing or writing
manuals on the wiki[3], both for the FreeRunner and the distribution
you are using.
Moreover many pages about certain distributions need updating.

I hope this was helpful

Re: [All] Status of the OM community

2009-08-22 Thread Marko Knöbl

 My suggestion is to start with the cleanup of wiki: separate HW and
 SW,

I have already tried to do this with Getting Started with your Neo
1973/Neo FreeRunner. The page Getting Started with your Neo
FreeRunner is obsolete now. Now we have several manuals on the wiki,
which are explicitly separated into device manuals and distribution
manuals.[1] Unfortunately the manuals page is not linked to from the
navigation bar - on the documentation mailing list it was agreed to
have a link, but there are no active wiki sysops to change this.

 separate devel/user information,

This was already discussed several times, but it never really was put
into practice. I had planned to attempt this once again when I have
got more time - But if anybody else would be willing to do this now
that would be great!

 archive or delete outdated
 information,

Some time ago I thought about this too. However this turned out to be
problematic for me: Personally I often have problems to tell whether a
page is up-to-date or not because I don't have enough knowledge in
this topic.
Therefore I'd suggest a different method: Mark pages as maintained if
there are editors who regularly check if they are still up to date and
have a warning on the top of the page if they are not maintained. I'm
currently thinking about a concept on how to realize this - comments
are welcome!

Hi!
I hope I'm interpreting this correctly: Is this template to be
included into the community updates when a new image of a distribution
is released? It was hard to tell from your mail.

Well, I prefer version 1. As black and orange are not the official
colours of openmoko anymore we shouldn't use them too much.
Furthermore a big coloured box seems out of place in the community
updates whose style is currently rather decent.

Re: Wiki: Permission denied?

2009-03-30 Thread Marko Knöbl
2009/3/28 Toni Mueller supp...@oeko.net:

 Hello,

 while trying to read the wiki, I _often_ get permission denied. Eg.
 here:

 http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Boot

 Go to the lower half of that page, and click on Boot from microSD.
 The link is
 http://wiki.openmoko.org/index.php?title=Boot_from_sd_cardaction=edit
 which I take as meaning that the target page has been removed. I saw
 such a page recently, though I can't say whether it was this, or
 another page.

 Similar things actually happen all over the place. :-(


 Kind regards,
 --Toni++

Thank you for pointing this out! I have created a redirect page
linking to Booting from SD, which is the correct title. The link
should work now.

Actually I think the American distributors and Golden Delicious have
better offers (I didn't compare shipping costs). Just take a look at

Re: Main page change notification

2008-08-03 Thread Marko Knöbl
2008/8/1 Justin Wong [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 I dont mind the language on top for this page, but if we can get rid
 of Main Page at the top, that'd be GREAT.  Right now, it's taking up
 a lot of real estate and I don't think we really need the page name
 for this page.

 The changes look good. I like how the intro is split up, so for
 people who care most about the license stuff, like developers, when
 they scroll down a bit, they can see it.

 Cheers!
 Justin

 Er... I just moved it back to the bottom before reading this email... 
 sorry!

 I think changing from one language to another inside the page is
 actually a rare task, as bookmarks can be set directly to the language
 of choice. It also makes the page look less cluttered :)


 Right but this is the main page which new users see first.  They need
 to be able to select their language easily.  I can see having all
 other pages have it on the bottom or not at all.  The main page should
 have it on the top.  Many people don't speak english.

 Ok. For the benefit of those non-english speakers who find it too
 difficult to scroll to the bottom of the page once to change languages
 before bookmarking it, I shall leave it as is. :)

Hi! I have now removed the second heading saying Welcome to
Openmoko. As soon as we find a way to remove Main Page we can add
it in again.

Re: The GTAs

2008/7/25 Corey Young [EMAIL PROTECTED]:


 Ok.  Now that the FreeRunner is out, I'd like to discuss the GTA03 and
 04. I've been listening to this list for quite some time, and have
 jotted down a few things about the upcoming models.

 Please make sure I have all of this correct.  And if its correct, is it
 all on the Wiki? I can't find mention. thank you. ^-^

 GTA03
 Removed Glamo
 3.5mm audio jack(maybe with some of Joerg's Ideas about stereo line-in)
 based on existing 2442 arm v4 samsung soc
 camera
 different case design than 1973/freerunner
 vga screen
 different battery
 different GSM modem.  (I think 2G/EGDE)
 USB2.0-OTG


 GTA04
 USB2.0 will be here at the earliest
 different GSM chip than FreeRunner
 I heard something about the samsung 6400 soc. more powerful 2d
 acceleration than Glamo.
 3D?

 oh, and GTA03 != Dash Express, right?  a little confusion on that...
 thanks again

according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openmoko  GTA04 will likely
have 3G support as well. Is that correct?

 I have doubts about the usefulness of vibrator feedback. It can't help
  you find a button or tell you whether you pressed the right one.


Actually it CAN help you find a button. Please read the section
Fingertip-Over-Edge Event in the article.

I think it's some kind of sliding-keyboard which enters the character
on which you release your finger.
