Who else is interested and have time to contribute? We probably need some sort of infrastructure (svn, emaillist, bugtracker, etc.) Could we borrow what's available in the PdaXrom site? Should we get together and form a team?
I can probably commit half an hour per day for the project after my thesis defense.

I'd be interested in such a thing, but I could only contribute about the same amount of time unfortunately.. possibly slightly more so, depending.
my .02 us would be to:
work on the pdax kernel (is beta 1 missing anything from beta3? patch it?)
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=156365\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
That's exactly what I want to start with, patch beta1 with beta3, then diff beta3 with Meanie's pdaXii and squash bugs. I don't want to overhaul, it's just there're too many pesting bugs in beta1.

Some unorganized thoughts on the matter:
Personally, I'm not very happy with beta3 compared to beta1. Having gotten a 3200 expecting beta3 to be much better than beta1 on a 6000, I was sorely disappointed.
Furthermore, pdaxii13 is largely a set of patches for problems that AFAIK exist *only* in beta3 (i.e clamshells,), so a lot of these problems are not applicable to beta1 on the tosa.
The 2.6 kernel series is a whole different story, and it's where the "official" bug fixes are headed as far as I can tell. It's really won my vote so far over beta3 with or without Meanie's patches. If we could at least get the tosa to *run* a 2.6 kernel in pdaxrom, then we'd all be on the same page as far as the ROM is concerned. And there's a considerable number of problems to face even if anyone were to get that far.
However variety is the spice of life, and many people prefer the "stability" of the 2.4 kernel to the enhancements that come with 2.6.
IMHO, trying to get u-boot to load on the tosa would usher in the 2.6 kernel series, and would solve many problems. It's also the path that pdaxrom sorely needs. This could be a good start to solve a lot of problems missing in the 2.4 series, notably the large SD support. That's unfortunately beyond me right now as the 3200 has nearly taken away all of my 'zaurus time' from the 6000... I'm still trying to find a good balance in this respect.
A Suggestion:
We'd need a more stable host for enhancements than this forum: perhaps pdaxrom.org or tyrannozaurus.com? pdaxrom has moved it's SVN to sourceforge.net.... that might be a good place to start as well.
Is anyone still interested in this?
