Paul,
I agree with you. If you would take care about OPIE packages and 
distribution it would be nice. From my site, I can take care about 
bluetooth/OBEX development (I'd like to make OBEX part do data exchange 
without external utilities, and I'd like to make OPIE device work with 
bluetooth keyboards and (probably) with BT headsets). I may also take 
care about new patches.
In my oppinion, there are two things we are really need - the "marketing 
requirements" and testing.
1. Marketing requirements.
We need a list of features we would like to see in the next release. 
Everything that is really needed will be done soon.
2. Testing.
We need a team of users/supporters/volunteers who may test new features 
on their devices and help newcomers start using OPIE.
I see some bad examples especially in local community like this one:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Newbie: - I have installed OPIE. Nothing works. Can someone help me.
Coder: - What platform do you use? Describe your problem, please.
NB: - iPAQ xxxx. The problem is simple. Nothing works.
Coder: - Sorry, I have another model. Visit opie.handhelds.org or #opie. 
There are many guys who may help you.
Provocator: - You see, this is the typical opsorce. Nothing works, no 
tech support. That's why I use Windows.
.... Lame and flame ...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is my view. If anyone can help to solve these two problems, his 
help would be very highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Dmitriy
