I would love some help with my "getting started" blog. There are many
how-tos on the wiki but they need to be tested and verified before I'll put
them on the "gettingstartedopenmoko.wordpress.com".

In a different thread we've discussed the quality of our wiki. Cleaning up
the wiki will provide me a much better starting point for the how-tos.
