  As promised, maintenance plan I would like to adhere to:

1. Ensure that OPIE packages and rootfs builds correctly in OE.dev,
including working on support for new/different versions of GCC,
packaging peculiarities, etc.

2. Work towards adding OPIE support in Angstrom.

3. Working with port maintainers towards adding support for more
machines to OPIE.

4. Work on establishing guidelines for machine support. In
particular, I'm not going to accept any patches blindly. Existing
machines support needs cleanup, too. Of course, this includes making
patches for libopie2 (at least), so I'm going to collaborate with OPIE
maintainers on that.

5. More higher-level and longer-term goal is getting rid of as much
machine-dependent packages for OPIE as possible. This might include
reworking means to support/configure different machines by means of
declarative configs, instead of being hardcoded into the C++ code.

6. Process bugreports/maillist traffic as standard part of maintenance
work. This is of course the most "tough" part ;-), but I'm on the OPIE
MLs/OE.dev bug notice ML for some time now, and that traffic does not
seem to be high.
