Hmm - there's a current issue regarding the GTA01 GPS gllin driver and 
kernel /sys filesystem paths, so the response of Openmoko to that 
"previous generation" issue is probably a good indicator of the sort of 
attention that GTA02 Glamo will get once GTA03 is released.

I'm hoping that the response is a positive one from Openmoko.

Publishing the schematics will be a great first step, but there is still 
the "previous generation" support for the proprietary NDA stuff that 
needs to be factored into Openmoko's staffing plans (since the community 
can't do it).
