Heh, thanks :-) But it can't hurt to know of these issues. You never
know if there isn't something we've still missed in GTA02 ...

Hmm, when GTA02 gets out the door, it will have its own trail of
surprise issues to resolve, and then there's already much talk about
GTA04 and beyond. Besides, working with more than one platform at a
time quickly gets messy, just for the bench setup.

So, as far as the system level is concerned, I'd actually like to
see us move towards a "community supported" model for the daily
bughunt on GTA01. There definitely seems to be enough knowledge in
the GTA01 user community, and the last few GTA01 kernel bugs I saw
getting resolved were handled well enough, so you don't actually
seem to need us ;-)

Thus, I'd like to put the time we can spend on GTA01 mainly on
things that would be difficult to do without help from OpenMoko,
such as information about schematics, design issues that have a
bit of a history or that are interwoven with things that go
beyond GTA01, anything that needs support from our hardware team,
etc.

Does this sound reasonable ?
