Sharp ROMs / What would you like to see in Cacko 1.22 ROM?

I didn't see this answered, so I'll ask again.  What are the odds that us poor beknighted SL-5500 users will see this version?  

It'd be nice to have some updated, working options for a change...

General Discussion / Zaurus 5500 Lifespan

« on: August 27, 2004, 06:53:12 pm »

I'm still pretty satisfied with the 5500 and I think it will use it for another couple of years.

A new release of OZ is imminent (no, we're not moving to GPE, we just integrated it into the build system, so that we can ship bootstrap images, Opie images, GPE images, etc.), most 2.6 kernel work is done for collie, and people seem to be very satisfied with the new breed of applications, e.g. kdepimpi, wellenreiter (although picky about its environment), opie-eye, opie-mail3, and the like.

Same goes for my C7x0, although support for it is a bit less good, much due to the amount of closed source - read Qtopia/Sharp, AtiCore, libsl, etc.

As much as OpenEmbedded is concerned, this received so much interest beyond the Zaurus community that it will be much more useful than we ever thought.

Mickey, I'm really glad to hear you say this.  Where should we track this "imminent" release?  Here?  Openembedded.org?  Openzaurus.org?
