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 
to edit them.
Please be patient & have faith in us...
