The initial list has been revised, and the graphic updated, after the
initial GNOME Mobile release set (2.24). We have a module consideration
period, just like the GNOME project, we have a list of technologies in
incubation - and please propose modules you feel are missing here.

Ross: are you planning on announcing that the module proposal period for
2.28 is open, by the way? Or is it implicitly the same schedule as the
rest of GNOME?

We had a volunteer who had some issues getting an account while he had
time, and getting time when he had an account.

We need some help!!!

Ideally, the help would be of the type "discuss here, modify content
based on resulting discussion/agreement", rather than "unilaterally
change the GNOME Mobile web-page". There's lots of stuff that we have
planned for ages and never gotten around to - gathering examples of
GNOME Mobile platforms & giving developers links and means to install &
use them, providing a reference GNOME Mobile application using the core
GNOME Mobile APIs, and instructions for building it on the various
platforms, collecting case studies of hardware manufacturers & ISVs
using GNOME Mobile successfully (Vernier, Bug Labs, Nokia, Intel, ...).

If you have time to put into any of this, you're more than welcome. The
GNOME Mobile web-page is in the gnomeweb-wml GIT module, under
www.gnome.org/mobile - patches are welcome, and will be applied rapidly
& liberally. If you already have a GNOME account, please let me know
before committing, and if you don't, and submit a couple of patches,
I'll gladly provide a reference to get you started.

Cheers,
Dave.
