Hi Graham, I think if you wish to help, you may start from building OPIE on your workstation and installing familiar Linux distribution on your handheld or building OPIE for your host. Visit http://www.handhelds.org/handhelds-faq/mailing-lists.html and http://opie.handhelds.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/DocsHowTo good starting points. Even Linux for handhelds and OPIE are well developed and pretty stable, there is enough work to do here. Regards, Dmitriy.
