Hi All,
As I think we've fixed more things than we broke it's time for another testing
release. As usual there are additional instructions here.
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Om2009
There is also a new page for community involvement. Many of these wishlist
items need someone to implement them. If you are interested in in owning one
of the wishlist items come and join #paroli or send me an email

Don't bother trying to do an opkg update opkg upgrade to do the upgrade.
Chances are you won't get the dependencies right ( I know I didn't ). If you
want to preserve your settings use the bind-home method and flash the full
image.
