Sounds good! :)

I would suggest to work collectively on openembedded.

openembedded again. You can generate SDK for x86/64 linux host and
windows too.

I've posted some instruction on how to build a ts kernel with built-in
support for SD card, unfortunately i didn't manage to port the driver
to more recent kernel.
But it's still on my TODO list!

What about a wiki to coordinate the efforts, i've set-up recently a
project on tuxfamily, but i didn't finished the web site, i'm still
hesitating between using WikkaWiki or MediaWiki:
http://tsboards.tuxfamily.org/wikka/HomePage
http://tsboards.tuxfamily.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
As well could be good to have a lightweight bug tracking system:
http://tsboards.tuxfamily.org/flyspray/
There is as well a git repo available for openembedded and the linux
kernel.
My goal would be to set-up a community portal, where developers are
welcome and grant access to the git repos, and everyone are welcome
to freely modify/enhance the wiki.

Chris
