 It's a good idea to set your user preferences (under Editing) to "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary". If you really want to keep it empty, you can just confirm the message or enter a blank space to avoid the message.
 It is also quick and quite good habit to prefix summary with +/-/= depending upon you add/delete/edit content.

-Much of the discussion about Openmoko and related projects is happening on the [[mailing lists]]. If you want to link to a certain post on the mailing lists please use the [http://lists.openmoko.org/nabble.html Nabble web interface] - Do not link to a page on the Mailing list archives because URLs are often changing there and could soon point to a completely different topic.

Remember, mailing lists were designed to be used with mail clients, not with web forums. The Openmoko mailing list archives at http://lists.openmoko.org are not recommended either because they change the URL to a certain topic sometimes and so links may lead to the wrong post after some time. If you need to provide a link to a discussion on the mailinglist for those who are not subscribed, use mailing list archives like gmane:
