RE: Current status, and previous Community Updates: wiki page
I've created a wiki page to consolidate the current status, and provide a place for you to add questions and topics you'd like to see addressed. I've added a section on the SMedia 3362. Most of my questions have been answered off-list by OpenMoko people (thanks!): There will be no 3D on the GTA02 despite the hardware being there. :-( This is because there are no drivers. However, a while back Harald did mention the sMedia 3362 documentation would be made available to the community. Any chance of chasing: a) When b) What the documentation will consist of - will it be sufficient for a community member to have a go at writing a 3D driver?

Maybe the Linux Driver Project could help.

I've also created a page for each previous Community Update, for reference. http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Community_Updates One thing that I would like to suggest is that any time you reference a relative date you qualify it with the date you added the comment to the wiki. For example, you say GTA02v3 is quite solid, but a flaw in power distribution required another revision. A very small number of GTA02v4 have been manufactured. Evaluation by internal OpenMoko engineers should start any day now. Any day when? It is very difficult for people who just peruse the wiki to know how old the information is - any day now might have been years ago :) GTA02v3 is quite solid, but a flaw in power distribution required another revision.
