So I want to throw one idea into the area, but without knowing if
it's really a good one: Could it help if we have a simple-to-use
Windows-Application, that makes the same as makesd.sh under Linux,
namely creating a proper formatted and recorded SD card? So that a
Windows-User could start using our "Linux-Phone" without having
Linux-skills? In my opinion Qtmoko v52 is sophisticated enough to
give it a trial. But I don't know if that's a way that we - the
community - are really interested in to try out...<br>

I believe its technically doable to make such an application. Though
fighting with the extX filesystems may be tricky(there are drivers
for it and also applications that aren ot drivers but can write to
them). Otherwise windows is not so unusable with the openmoko. The
serial debug tools are available as windows binaries, its possible
to connect the phone to a windows pc and share internet access with
it. Also there are ssh clients available on windows. Its just not so
easy to find out abput all of this from zero. I do agree that the
ability to do all necessary things with windows computer would be
good to have.<br>
