Overview
Like Wolfgang said in http://n2.nabble.com/Weekly-Engineering-News-41-2008-td1336450.html , Openmoko assembled a team to focus on improving the user experience. The focus and coverage of this group is:
- We improve the current stack instead of creating new features.
- Prefer stuffs which could be brought over to gta03 instead of gta02/om2008 specific.
- Won't work on om2007 stack. Won't do hardware.
- May cooperate with Paroli, FSO or system team but we're not them.
- Will work on Qtopia but with lower priority.
