Robert, Just my $0.02 about *where* info should be stored: I completely agree about Dennis' "Wild West" comment. When I first started with the BBB back in Sep2013 all 5 of the various websites that Dennis referenced seemed to contradict each other. The "official" image was outdated and the most recent images were hidden away and you almost needed a "secret knock" to find them. I completely understand that everything has been in a massive state of flux, especially since all of the changes with the way Device Tree was handled, etc, etc. It seems to me, though, that out of the 5 websites that Dennis referenced, perhaps 4 of them should say "Things are in a state of massive flux right now.... Instead of us updating 5 websites all the time, Please check this *one* website for the most up-to-date info." Then on the *1* website which is "continuously updated" it could say: Here is the most recent "stable" official image and here is the most recent "development" official image. It is strange having 5 different websites to have to check when you are a Newbie...and then Gerald says "why didnt you check 'the' website".
Thx! I respect and appreciate all the work you do!!
