Overview

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. The focus and coverage of this group is:

We improve the current stack instead of creating new features.
Prefer stuffs which could be brought over to gta03 instead of gta02/om2008 specific.
Won't work on om2007 stack. Won't do hardware.
May cooperate with Paroli, FSO or system team but we're not them.
Will work on Qtopia but with lower priority.

Here is the current draft and it will be updated frequently.
