Sorry, man, the ante is four cents. :)<br><br>So much for a tidy email list of just serious, seasoned, developers. Heh.<br><br>That sound you hear is one lip gloating....<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 7/24/07,

According to the wiki there's about 2300 phone orders and the number<br>increases every day. There's some 75-100 people that have posted on the<br>wiki in the P1 owners category. Given, not every developer has contributed
<br>to the P1 owners page so there's probably about 300 people or so that follow<br>the wiki and haven't posted in it. Leaving about 2000 orders to people that<br>don't follow the wiki and are probably not interested in developing. If
<br>they were interested in developing, they would follow the wiki as it is the<br>only source for finding development specs, cvs links, walkthroughs, etc.<br>That's a pretty large amount of people that are going to want help building
<br>openmoko and flashing it to the phone. I think a forum is a good idea for<br>now if anytime. If we can show that there is a great support base available<br>for the phone this early on we can draw a much larger fan base later on.
