I'm not really sure, although ASU seems to be a merge of 2007.2 and Qtopia, so perhaps that direction is what you're looking for? Perhaps, though I have my doubts about running a full X server on neo hardware, Qtopia's framebuffer approach might be a little more resource friendly. Guess I'll have to try a couple of them. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/So-what-should-I-learn-and-develop-for--tp661310p662017.html Sent from the Openmoko Community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
So what should I learn and develop for?
As a newcomer to the Openmoko scene, I've started to notice that there are a lot of different firmwares out there, some from Openmoko and some from other places. I'm a C programmer by trade with almost a decade of commercial experience, mostly in server/backend stuff. I want to start looking at Openmoko and the FreeRunner but I'm now not sure which frameworks, firmwares and library sets I ought to be looking at. What's the stable openmoko distribution? Should I start working against Qtopia as it's got a wider device base and (probably) a larger community? I must admit I like the idea of making debian workable, but from the distributions page that looks like it has a long way to go before I'd get a workable phone out of it. What's the state of play guys? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/So-what-should-I-learn-and-develop-for--tp661310p661310.html Sent from the Openmoko Community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

What's the state of play guys? From my (little) experience it seems that Qtopia is by far the most usable (as a phone), and I would say for general end-user (if you can even find just average end-users yet!) they are using Qtopia. 2007.2 mostly seems to house developers, and I see a lot more power and potential from the 2007.2 framework, but personally I think Qtopia is the most stable.
