I'd like to see a package of simply, fully working, high-quality example applications, including tutorials on cross-compiling and linking against different versions of the various OpenMoko libraries. It would provide an excellent starting point for developers such as myself who want to dive in but usually get bogged down in code that is written to do work, not to look pretty and demonstrate the principals of how the system is put together.
Documentation is great, but if it's dense it will only benefit the more hardcore hackers. I hope to eventually become one of those more hardcore hackers, but I feel like I need an entry point. :-) On 10/13/07, Michael Shiloh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello everyone, > > I have some updates for you, and a question. > > First the updates: > > The GTA01 units that were shipped in the past two weeks have satisfied > the back orders for GTA01.
