Hi JW,

This is wonderful. Thanks for coming up with the idea and for 
implementing it.


I look forward to seeing more applications on this page.

Regards,
Michael

Hi OpenMoko Community,

I was thinking about the target market for Neo FreeRunner - the non-geek
smartphone user.   There is very little to tempt them in the current wiki and
indeed the main page dedicated to them is 


* hidden halfway down the main page
* refers to them as basic end users 
Both of these need changed but I haven't done this yet as I didn't want to mess

with the main page structure.

However I did create a new page to provide an advert for all the great software
that is being ported or developed for the OpenMoko platform right now. I
have filled in two example apps I personally heard about (hope the devs feel ok
to be featured!).  Please have a look and as usual change what you want done
better :-)

The Basic_End-user page

The new OpenMoko Community Applications Page

Getting it into the openmoko feeds requires

1) Getting it into OpenEmbedded
2) Adding it to the openmoko-feeds recipe.

Admittedly, #1 is a fairly high barrier to entry.

I haven't yet asked  anybody to get tangoGPS into the offical repository
- I first want to collect user expericene feedback.

However: I like Ubuntu's idea with Universe / Multiverse. The first
being the official set of apps maintained or endorsed by Openmoko and
the second one being a wider collection of software.
