sorry for a silly follow-up but > reading a lot about it, LOL ;-)
it summarizes well activities of the hundreds I bet... may be it is because 1. there is a universe of unconnected contributions (ie "I packaged smth which is not in the official repository", or "I've fixed this via ....") ie. there is no transparent and generic plan/HOWTO on how contributions are submitted/adopted to be used by the masses with a simple 'opkg upgrade'. There is no distributed allocation of duties/privileges in respect to packages (like in Debian and without any flavor of which community project is not a community project any longer -- even khe Ubuntu has their MOTUs ;) ), thus any update in official repository takes too long (look at tangogps for which upstream has up-to-date version but OM's repository lacks it). or where is minimo which was already packaged and there is wiki instructions on the web? I already have my own set of scripts to bring 2007.2 to a usable state for me... just not sure where to place it to make public (not just a blog/wiki page about it since that is of limited affect) 2. "is it in wiki? yes! in the page buga_biga_boom which you could reach after going through buga1, buga2 and buga3 or searching for buga1 buga2 buga_whatever_irrelevant)". sure -- wiki is improving since people mentioned amount of redundancy in its content, but wiki shouldn't be a collection of addendums of the ad-hoc scripts to complement official distribution, it should serve as a nice documentation. sorry for a bit of sarcasm ;-) but it seems OM is missing some basic community organization at the moment (I guess they are too busy with reinventing the wheel via a child of their own - illume and an autohiding keyboard so you don't type whenever YOU want, and that is their mistake imho) :-P P.S. it is not to start a heavy finger-pointing discussion, it is just me after having some beer ;-) On Fri, 25 Jul 2008, andres wrote: > On Fri, 2008-07-25 at 17:30 +0300, Breakable wrote: > Hi there, > Just wondering those of you who have the device already, what are > you doing with your new device? > reading a lot about it, -- Yaroslav Halchenko Research Assistant, Psychology Department, Rutgers-Newark Student Ph.D. @ CS Dept.
