Like Wolfgang said in http://n2.nabble.com/Weekly-Engineering-News-41-2008-td1336450.html , Openmoko assembled a team to focus on improving the user experience. Here is our todo list at


Issue Priority Yes kill it votes No keep it votes
Reduce boot time
Optimize the touch screen driver on freerunner for finger usage
A generic python loader to enhance the start up time of python scripts
Work with system team to improve suspend/resume user experience
We improve the current stack, not creating new features
Prefer stuffs which could be brought over to gta03 instead of gta02/om2008 specific
won't work on om2007 stack
working on improving the Xglamo
afair 3d and video (ie playing videos) still need work
Program response should be lots better. Startup time reducing for apps would be great
Suspend is quite good at the moment, but when the display is 'blanked' and the system is not in suspend, maybe pressing the 'power' button could wake up the screen instead. Now it wakes up and immediately suspends
my suspend / resum still kills my sound
The "suspend on power button" is completely useless for me
touch and accellerometer based gui for nearly blind people
make a dialer compatible with bbdb
make a gnus backend for sms
a symbol chooser keyboard
Keyboard improvment
Personal tools
