Hi,
just a question regarding the svn server:
I cannot access the repository but the server is alive (ping):
mac:gta02-core lothar$ cd ..
mac:Projects lothar$ rm -rf gta02-core/
mac:Projects lothar$ svn co http://svn.openmoko.org/trunk/gta02-core/
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/trunk/gta02-core'
svn: PROPFIND of '/trunk/gta02-core': Could not resolve hostname
`svn.openmoko.org': Host not found (http://svn.openmoko.org)
mac:Projects lothar$
Also I had trouble reviewing the schematics on my Mac (missing
symbols) after my last svn update.
Is there another Mac user?

Does the project have a paypal account to transfer money to (at sf
that is available)?
OpenMoko has sold about 10000 pieces. There may be 10000 users at
maximum.
If each would donate 2 € then the cost would 0 € per piece if it will
cost 1000 €
I would donate more than 2 € :-)
I can't pay for a prototype as my current financial situation, but I
will donate as I likely want to
see this project succeeding (not failing due to lack of money).
So why not issuing a call for donation into the comunity list. They
probably want to see this project
succeeding too :-)

Is there a list of PCB and SMT companies, that are candidates?
I have at least one, but I don't know if it came into the list. And if
not, why.
Snip
Thanks
