Yes, that is also our goal and because we know what a pain it is
do develop for an undocumented device, we try our best to make it better,
i.e. well documented.

I.e. you are looking for someone who can lend his/her for some time
or someone else to sponsor a unit.

Unfortunately, production of further GTA04 boards has stalled so that
only 2 or 3 complete devices are left over (i.e. GTA04 boards built into
Openmoko Freerunner cases). So if someone would like to help to get
you one of these, please raise finger(s).
