Hi there, I thought to try fixing a small part of this particular problem by editing the main page & adding a link to http://wiki.openmoko.org/ wiki/Distributions
But I do not see where to put it! Perhaps it should replace the "Current software stack" link to http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/ NeoSoftwareStack ?? Perhaps these 5 categories: Introduction to Openmoko Openmoko Products Join Openmoko development Openmoko community Getting started with Openmoko Wiki should be extended with the addition of "Openmoko software"? Or perhaps I should just get my hands dirty and change the "Introduction to Openmoko" to include the link to "Distributions"? As a user I feel reluctant to edit the main page as I feel it "belongs" to Openmoko the company or to Brenda, so you must tell me explicitly if you wish me to feel free. Stroller.
