[Arm-netbook] EOMA68-A20 progress

[Nick Hardiman]

Great to see the updates coming from Hong Kong. Exciting times.

What’s happening with the A20 board?

Was the last update (I’m not looking at previous mails here, could be wrong) said ‘Mike is getting prototypes’?

What are prototypes, and how do they fit into the grand plan?

Many thanks, Nick

of the A20 board. pre-production run, to confirm that the addition
of an extra address line is ok.

please bear in mind that i keep a per-project news archive. in this
case, the information you seek (the context) is here:

Am I the only one who find the rhombus site a bit difficult to browse ?

OK, there is "search", I know about the url.append("/news"), but an index,
or a site map page would be a good thing to have imho.

And to be clear: No, Luke I'm not asking you to do that while you have
other more important things to do. Just throwing ideas in the air for
web-competent (I'm not) people to chime in... ;-)

it's note-taking over 5 years. there's an index page somewhere.

Hope your not speaking of the home page (http://rhombus-tech.net/index.html) ?

Found it... ;-)
And added a link at bottom of home page, for web-impaired people like me...

Just to add the point of view of another "non-web" guy, I also find the
site quite difficult to browse, especially when you are looking for a
precise piece of information, you have to know a little bit in advance
where to look at.
However, as (for me) the project is currently targeting more tech-aware
people than computer newbies, I guess the site's first objective is not to
be the most user friendly.

true.

However, as (for me) the project is currently targeting more tech-aware
people than computer newbies, I guess the site's first objective is not to
be the most user friendly.

imagine it to be a 5 year's worth of note-taking on several separate
but inter-related ongoing projects.

you'd bookmark each page of each project that you were interested in.

CPU pages are "tagged" and are therefore navigable from the cpus page.

all housings are listed under community_ideas and are therefore
navigable from there.

honestly, though, normally this kind of project would be handled by a
team of full-time people: there would under "normal" circumstances at
least be quite a lot of people working and collaborating to index
everything in easily-navigable ways.

main thing i can say is: it's a wiki, so if you feel inclined to tidy
it up and provide cross-referencing, feel free!
