Re: Proposal - take 2

Hi Koen!

I fully support your proposal!

Here are just a few comments...

>Newbie Abe wants to run linux, so Abe looks on hh.org and is directed to our wiki.

Very good idea to make installation as simple as possible!

Good! We could have a separate task list Wiki page, which would be
created from the current task list in the kernel page
(http://www.handhelds.org/z/wiki/HpIpaqH2200Kernel). That's good to have
that on a Wiki page... This way, anyone can post tasks one identifies,
and contributors can declare what tasks they are currently working on or
would like to participate in.

What do you think about a separate page? I can create it right now!

Right! We will do the best we can with our available time. Actually,
deadlines are mainly useful for managing interdependent tasks. Listing
dependencies should be enough. If we face a bottleneck task, we can try
to solve it by helping the owners of this task.

Let's see what the others think...

Thanks again!
