Hi,
sorry for my lack of knowledge of English and computer science.
Are you working on a new kernel for the N9, I understand? It will be possible to have the usb host?
I do not want to be offensive, but how the work is progressing?
I unfortunately I can not help my dates just little computer knowledge, but it would be possible to support the project financially?

At the moment I am still doing work on ubiboot ( multiboot loader for N9 ) but later when I have time I might also look at the HEN/N9 for USB host functionality, maybe.
I will be doing something related to kernel anyway
As far as I remember same people who did host-mode fot N900 have been looking into N9

AFAIK that was because of the potential problems with BME

But you're one of the developers? So by the time you are proceeding with the development, but I understand that it is not easy ... right?
I repeat my question: is it possible to help you financially? Not that I have money to burn, but I was glad to help, if only to keep alive the Nokia N9 despite Nokia.

Of course the following expresses only my views, I cannot speak for others.
For most people doing kernel development this is an addicting hobby, but it's not our day job, it's not the thing we get paid for.
Thus, I look at parts which intrest me for personal reasons, things I can do and tweak to get the device perform the way I want and need it to behave. From time to time I hit some wall that proves to be too difficult to scale for me, at least at that moment. Or it might be I find something more intresting to hack at. At that time, I might well stop working at the current project and start doing something else.
Sometimes, I manage to do something even other people find useful, and that is wonderful. It makes me feel good to see people using my works, and it gives me good karma.
What I make and develop, are freely available to others to use, enjoy, extend and further develop under GPL.
If I accepted financial compensation/benefits from the work I am doing, it could lessen its meaning as a hobby and increase its meaning as work. Thus I would be obliged to work towards the goals I was rewarded for, and it would greatly reduce the freedom I like in my development.
Rather than financial support, I would like to see you too take part in development, learning the skills to create beautiful working software

Wow, that is the spirit!
And even I understand your reasons against donations: a small paypala/whatever link does not hurt, and just see it as respecting/acknowledging your work. Not as a burden to push you, especially as you have stated totally clear your standpoint.

I thank you again for your response.
I state that I did not want to disrespect or offend you or other people who work on this project. And even those who, in their free time, focus on the development of applications and / or operating system in general.
I am a simple teacher of grammar and Italian and Latin literature, so a little far away as curriculum. But I like it and I'm very interested computer science and technology in general.
So when I said that I would like to contribute financially, I said that is my only way to contribute and help.
That's it.

For the haptic feedback part, I already did some work on that some time back so I kind of have a hunch on what's going on there.
For the camera interface, I have not looked into that yet, so I have not even checked if it uses /dev or /proc to control the camera...
