Hi,

I've upated the Wiki http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/  with a 
"Getting Involved" section that shows how people can help with the 
project and (indirectly) shows how to access different documentations.

"EOMA-68 CPU card is an open source software and hardware project that 
rely on the community participation. You can get involved in several ways:

  * Joining arm-netbooks at lists.phcomp.co.uk mailing list for discussions
    or questions (registration required at
    http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook)
  * Contributing to the source code
    <http://rhombus-tech.net/source_code/> (kernel, bootloader, ...)
  * Downloading and trying Linux images available at Allwinner A10
    images <http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/a10_image/>
  * Reporting bugs / features requests in github issue tracker, see
    source code <http://rhombus-tech.net/source_code/> page for links to
    corresponding repositories.
  * Adding information to the Wiki (these pages) mainly for how-tos,
    news and general description of the project"

I moved the source code part to a new page 
http://rhombus-tech.net/source_code with links where to get the code, 
report bugs and see the software changelog.

Hopefully, if we can operate this way, this will satisfy Luke (since 
it's clearly explained where the software changes are located) and the 
community that does not need to document software changes daily in the 
Wiki (as it will show in github).

Apart from that, I'm not a big fan of github issue tracker, so if the 
community think Bugzilla would be more suitable, I would be more than 
happy to install and setup it up in Luke's VM.
I would also like to create a script for daily build in this VM for 
u-boot and the kernel, and possibly a Ubuntu image based on Ubuntu-Core 
rootfs <http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/releases/11.10/release/> 
(armel until we get the armhf binaries) that can be downloaded via FTP.  
Luke that image would be around 40 MB, hopefully it's not too big.
