Smoku, could you please put here a update on how many people signed? also, how are things going overall?

I know You've got personal life and I'm not demanding anything, but "quiet time" is a little worrying. Just remember, that Open Pandora guys succeed despite facing severe problems and many, many changes of delivery time, only by keeping community well updated all the time about all problems/status changes.

I mean, constant flow of information is a key here, I think

Please join the mailing list to be updated on the status of the project.

Is there an online archive of the mailing list anywhere?

Are we going to be able to implement python scripts/programs like we can right now with Maemo 5?

For a media player, have you looked at Mediabox? It can use mafw and gstreamer. SomePlayer does look good, I'd admit.

Also, why are you using gnome programs? Wouldn't it be better/easier to use pure GTK programs or XFCE programs? For example, xfce4-power-manager instead of gnome-power-manager. I'm running a "living" experiment with archlinux and openbox at the moment to see what gnome programs can be completely replaced and which ones I can't live without at the moment hehe.

Is there info on how many ppl preorder cordiatab? Is the 1K margin close?

Estel | # 338 | 2011-08-18, 18:15 | Report

@up - the current goal is 250, not 1000. with 1000, we should be able to order 100% custom device, but that would require designing from our side = it would take muuuuch longer. It seems that consensus was made, to start with available device, and leave designing custom one to future *if* this project succeed.

--------

I second question about mailing list archive...

Ho ever, while I agree that mailing list is good thing, lack of real archive + fact that most people read forums, makes me wonder - is it so hard to put info also here, on appropriate thread?

I don't want to sound over-reactive, but it sound rude a little to GTFO interested people (not to mention pre-orders amongst them...) with one liner.

I know, it's also not so hard to join mailing list. But, if I recall correctly, we want to have *more* people interested, not the opposite. At least this is what I - and many other people interested - doing, advocating Cordia in current discussions with Council.

The mailing list archive is on the way.
I requested adding the ML to GMANE and submitted archive for import.

I do not track TMO as closely as a year ago, so if you want to be in touch you need to join the ML. That's a fact. Live with it.

Besides this is a _Maemo_ forum.
We've been already suggested to GTFO with MeeGo and Cordia stuff.

No matter what some individual may have said, MeeGo and Cordia stuff is acceptable on this forum.
