Of course not! wiki.openmoko.org will never be gone.
At wiki , we have many valuable introduction pages about so many
projects: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Applications
During this transition period, many download links related to
Project.openmoko.org will become broken links, so please kindly help us

Please be patient & have faith in us...
