Or somebody could set up a build server at home that automatically
updates a wiki status..

To my mind, the first step after you have an early prototype of a system
that 
works is to set up a continuous integration server that automatically
builds, 
runs automated tests, and labels appropriately.  

Without that, any work you do is shooting in the dark.  This is (of
course) particularly 
true for a distributed project, where you can't just yell over the wall
to someone that they broke the build.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OpenMoko powers that be:

PLEASE Hire someone to create and maintain the build process NOW. It
will increase
productivity of your developers as well as the community developer team.

The investment of one additional FTE will help enormously.
 
be well
