OpenZaurus 3.5.5 - call for help

I started work on next OpenZaurus release - it will be 3.5.5 and I want to 
have it done for all models in one release. This will be also last 
release from me - I will switch into Ångström.

To get this release done I need Your help. 

Doing distro alone is a thing which I prefer to not have to do as there 
are many things in my todolist. I can work on software, build test 
images, do some testing on tosa, c760, spitz, collie.

Before 3.5.4/3.5.4.1 release we had test cycles with over 100 users so 
this time I want to do it with the same way so WE can give people another 
great version of our distribution.

==========================================================================
Changes

- opie 1.2.2 + some backports from CVS
- kernel 2.6 for all models except collie
- altboot root-on-sd for collie
- boot from flash, boot from SD kernels
- Ximageon X11 server for c7x0

I will take care of updating OPIE. 

We need to check which 2.6 kernel to use. Minimal is 2.6.17 but I would 
like to use atleast 2.6.19 or even 2.6.20 as this will make us more 
up-to-date.

Someone need to test altboot root-on-sd so we will give 100% working start 
images.

Ximageon server is new thing from Manuel Teira Paz. It has XVideo working 
and there are work on XRandR support.
==========================================================================
Images

I would like to provide a bit changed list of images available in OZ 
3.5.5:

- bootstrap
- opie
- gpe
- opie-minimal (launcher + minimal settings + konsole)
- gpe-minimal (also stripped from apps)

Minimal images provided for collie/poodle/tosa/c7x0 as they can have <32M 
rootfs so users have problems with fitting. This way they can install 
rest of software to SD cards.

Of course if they prefer to boot from SD (directly under 2.6 or via 
altboot on collie) then they will choose normal images.

XFCE, E17 images will be probably not provided. This can change if someone 
will work on them.

LinuxTogo

Since I moved OpenZaurus project to LinuxToGo we can give access to 
upgrades feed for developers. Contrib feeds are also possible so if you 
want to join me and help with upgrades or want to provide own packages 
for users via contrib feeds then join OpenZaurus project:

http://projects.linuxtogo.org/projects/openzaurus/

It would be great if someone will help with work on upgrades feed as I 
have more and more non-OZ related work to do so it is hard to follow all 
requests.

I'm waiting for your response and ideas.
