I think one point hasn't been addressed much in this discussion
so far. How important are all the *.openmoko.org services to us?
So I suggest to everyone on this mailing list to give an
indication like this:
I regard as important:
( ) lists.openmoko.org (incl. the mailing lists)
( ) wiki.openmoko.org
( ) docs.openmoko.org
( ) svn.openmoko.org
( ) people.openmoko.org
( ) projects.openmoko.org
( ) Others: __________________

PS: looking the mailing lists I have seen only three with major activity:
1. this list (community)
2. devel (which is more or less a dfu-util discussion list)
3. openmoko-kernel
