Basically Openmoko has stopped the development of the GTK stack in order to start a new stack called ASU. There are some 10.000 developers for GTK who can start any time making software for the Neo while there are very few developers for ASU, maybe 50. ASU is only used on the Neo whereas your GTK apps will run on the desktop or on the new MID devices like the ASUS eeePC right out of the box. Naturally for an open source developer it is a difference if the software will run on some hundred Neos or on some million PCs and MIDs. The GTK stack simply needs maintainance and bugfixing to remain a perfect platform for future developments. A really nice thing about the current GTK stack is the abilily to work in portrait and landscape mode just the same. It is just a lot of fun to automatically turn your screen while turning the phone in your hands. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
