Thanks for starting this thread!
my gut feeling is that soon stuff is going to break which will result in users not having an upgradeable install.
I feel this too, and it scares me a little sometimes. I'm mostly sticking with "stable" for now, and when it comes to it, I'll stick with "oldstable"... that should buy a few years at least until I can get something better than zaurus, (beagleboard,gumstix,etc)...
..but I hate how the community has died out over the past few years... saddening.
Is building an updated kernel for Zaurus something practical for end users? I'm pretty geeky but I don't think it will be easy to manage all the patches manually.
I think this is the most practical thing we can do... still trying to bring myself up to speed... and not getting there fast.
Is anyone actively carrying out work on Yongguns sources?
I work on small things passively, not actively. Sorry. Not enough resources.
Is there a freenode channel where people working on that hang out by any chance?
I second this question.. would love to help out in any way. Starting a channel isn't hard at all, but maintaining it becomes harder.
