a significant number of people who admit they are not programmers

But it's a wonderful thing that a lot of people are curious what is
going on. I'm sure that a few of the would become a real programmers.
I'm curious what a non-programmer is going to do with this device
in the next
few months. And if your first use of Linux is on the device
itself, and you
run Windows on your desktop, how you're going to grow your Linux
skills and
effectively develop applications. Just seems odd to me, but maybe
I'm
overlooking something. ;-)
Thet will be very good beta testers. And about that linux, always should
be the first time. But linux has its own magnetism. Jeff, I think that
some of them will install linux distro on their PC and a new linux
adventure will happen for them.
In some points i agree, but i think as an application developer you
should not have to look into the code of gsmd, or whatever. As an
application programmaer, i (usually) expect some sort of interface
wich i can use, and wich is documented. Because if every application
diggs deap in some sort of demons/driver/whatever, and some piece of
code changes, then we're all fucked up (sorry for the expression).
I do agree with you. The code should be modular and there should be no
need to look inside of it if someone only uses services provided by some
daemon. Only interface/api should be known. Ofcourse it needs a good
documentation but it's the part of libraries developers.
All non-developers - keep tracking the OpenMoko!!! :-)
Greetings to all.
