I think one point hasn't been addressed much in this discussion
so far. How important are all the *.openmoko.org services to us?

So I suggest to everyone on this mailing list to give an
indication like this:


I regard as important:

( ) lists.openmoko.org (incl. the mailing lists)
( ) wiki.openmoko.org
( ) docs.openmoko.org
( ) svn.openmoko.org
( ) people.openmoko.org
( ) projects.openmoko.org
( ) Others: __________________


This may shed a new light on this topic.

PS: looking the mailing lists I have seen only three with major activity:
1. this list (community)
2. devel (which is more or less a dfu-util discussion list)
3. openmoko-kernel
