Some G1G1 users are going to be sophisticated enough to search the web, find a server URL on the wiki and attempt to collaborate using it. :) I think the "real answer" is to find a corporate entity who will view this as a marketing opportunity and provide the infrastructure, much like T-Mobile have done with a year of free wireless connectivity. Speaking of such "sophisticated G1G1 users", I've built VMware images of ship2, and I can do so for Joyride as well. Is there a place where I could post such images for people who are waiting for their G1G1 hardware, so they can experiment with the interface? _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
