<div>Hi,</div><div> </div><div>Havn't got a mele A1000 yet ... got a friend to pick me one up (he has a factory in china) .. due to pick it up on my hols in Spain this summer all being well :-)</div><div> </div><div>You're absolutely right about the wiki, problem is populating the wiki with enough detail to allow newbies (if thats what you want to allow) to pick it up and run with</div>
<div> </div><div>Putting links to compiled files and sd card images (if thats something you guys want to go to support newbies) in the wiki is ideal.</div><div> </div><div>At the moment the mele1000 is the closest you guys have to a product and IMHO it might not be a bad idea to provide a bit of support around the mele1000 to attract a community around your offering for the time you're ready to launch a product .... </div>
<div> </div><div>If i take the dockstar/iconnect/pogoplug devices as an example .. pretty useless devices in the real world but sites just as Jeff Doozan's attracted large numbers of people around them (by providing clear simple hack instructions and support files/scripts) to open up these devices in to something really very useful ... this is why IMHO the ebay prices of these devices held up so well when the real sales were so poor .. nowadays the pi has killed them off (although the pi has not started shipping yet) ... some nice little ideas like using those cheap keyring photoframes as dirt cheap monitoring screens </div>
<div> </div><div>with the raspberry pi there are no shortage of newbies desperate to buy but nokia is struggling to find developers to give (their 400 guaranteed from the first batch) them away to for nothing to Qt developers .. if you guys have a desire to reach batch sizes of 100k's then youre gonna neeed these newbies ;-) </div>
