I am not posting this to bitch, I promise!
But just noting a comment. I don't think Civic is in it for the money. He has a life, he works hard, probably has a family as well. He is doing it for the accomplishment of doing it. It is wonderful that some of the big guys froma the Touch Pro that have accomplished so much are coming over to help as well. I really feel things will start taking off. But Civic already mentioned that he is working on it as he can, in between his real job etc. I know lots are impatient, I want it as well after getting my wife a Hero and seeing how cool Android is!
But you can't push what isn't capable of being pushed. If you want to donate, then donate, I did! But I didn't expect anything more out of it. Just wanted to do it to thank him for picking up where others haven't! But don't make it a promise if he quits his real life job and dedicates his life to working only on this for $40 here, $20 there etc heh. It, and I may be wrong, just going by my own life here heh, honestly can't make a difference heh. I won't quit my job to work on a hobby heh.
Basically just wanted to comment, that it is gonna happen guys, we just need to find some patience, I am the worse at it, ask my kids heh. But don't donate to someone just for a final product, I know a lot of you are probably younger and don't understand the full responsibility of a full time job to put food on the table for your family etc, so it is easy to ask for things and expect them to take hold heh. But in the real world, jobs especially today are hard to come by and you have to put that first to make sure your family is secure and fed. And then coming back to do side things that you enjoy comes second. So try and respect that and lets just work together like a lot of you are doing and trying to organize the development etc. Hopefully in time we can get the work put in the main kernels that are out there, I am sure that is the end goal anyways is to have a streamlined kernel that works with multiple phones etc. That way everyone can contribute to just making the Android experience better.
Again, I don't want want this post to come off as a flame, I just wanted to shed light on how I am sure from what Civic has posted a few times already on how real life works and how it MUST come first as much as we all wish it didn't have to heh. And not all of us have weekends etc, we just find free time as we can heh. I do miss the earlier days believe me.
Thanks for the long and boring read!
Let's hope for the best on moving forward. I am very excited to see some of the other guys that helped to contribute to the original TP join in and I have no doubt things will just get better!
