Hi Denis/GNUtoo, as Ben said, your work is very much appreciated and from my point of view especially from a low level user point of view. I am not sure how many of the initial GTA02 users are out there, but I for myself can say that I very much appreciate how SHR and QTmoko have developed. They got a lot faster and elfe brought even some nice "eyecandy" to show the phone to iphone/android users as something special. Something I, and maybe other users, have not been able to understand is why things break so often from one image to the next, eg. iliwi has always worked, but all of a sudden WPA was not possible anymore, for my daughter the great minneo always worked but all of a sudden the screen specifactions seem to have changed so the icons do not match the screen width anymore. So with SHR I had always the feeling that the libraries behind it are changing so fast that it is hard to keep up with that base and therefore the chance of system break- ages is much higher. In case you have any ideas on how the non-developers could help more but writing tickets about issues please let me/us know. to finalize: I think there are a lot of people out there who appreceate your and the other developers work very very much! best regards robin _______________________________________________ Shr-devel mailing list Shr-devel@lists.shr-project.org http://lists.shr-project.org/mailman/listinfo/shr-devel
