@jeff thanks a lot for taking the time to answer this. I appreciate it a lot.
The long (perceived) days of silence can erode trust of supportes quickly.
For example, the campaign page says there will be “a community area to participate in PureOS mobile development”.
You seem to think that we expect more “results” and long, in-depth articels like @kakaroto 's excellent masterpiece on reverse-engineering. That is awesome, but a simple (weekly?) ten-line status update would be appreciated at least as much by many people (I think).
The simplest way to do that would be to have an “status update” category in the forums and let us know what is going on without a lot of chitchat. It could look like
- Shipping of Librem Xyz should start next week
- We’re still waiting for the promised iMX.8 samples, NXP delayed it to next easter
- Notable PureOS updates: PureBrowser now based on FF57
- We began working on the mobile developer community area for pureos.net - more details soon
- Wiki is in the making
- We took note of an increased interest in non-US keyboard layouts and hope to open preordering for German layouts soon.
On the wiki:
If you take the presented approach, neither vandalism nor initial population should be a problem:
- Let active community members help with the population while it is not publicly accessible for initial population.
- Write access is invitation only, for backers/customers/forum users
- Wiki software supports mandatory reviews
