Well, if I am not mistaken, it's all in HEAD in CVS now, so as soon as the daily snapshot make is fixed, it will be available daily on plkr.org, no? I managed to solve the bug in the Makefile regarding the fontconv issue, but there's still an open issue prohibiting the hourly snapshots

I use Plucker and iSilo. I downloaded your comparison matrix, added a couple of features at the bottom, and made a couple corrections. (e.g. AvantGo OS5 support is out of beta now.) Things I couldn't answer definitively include ??? in their answer. Great work, I've updated my copy

You might add to the matrix that Plucker Unofficial Hires has keyboard customizability. (This also relieves the annoyance of the ~32K split, because if one has a keyboard, one can select the link with the keyboard, which is painless.) You also might add that it has the ability to take in

Are the font packages exclusively for HiRes screens or would they work on 160x160 screens? (trying to decide where to put that feature in the shuffle) Both. Also, does the 1.2 Hires version support Virtual graffiti (either handera or Sony) or not? Don't know. I added these features
