I'm trying to find a place to start reading without making my head hurt. Some of these threads are 50+ pages long but I'm guessing don't apply to the current ROMs available. Any suggestions on where to start, obviously I'm going to root and then use one of the roms you mentioned shortly there after.

Is there any reason that I shouldn't let the phone download the latest updates from Sprint? Does rooting still work in the official version, the phone is shipping with, gasp--Eclair?
All phones should be shipping with Froyo 2.2.1..EC05...Yes, most of the wiki is outdated, I am working on a new version...just have been rather busy this past days (I mean I still have yet to fix my Epic )..just moved and have a lot of work deadlines pop at the same time so its been hell..

Its not as hard as it looks and to start I suggest just playing with the device and getting a "feel" for it..once you got it down, post a thread on what you'd like to do/see..then me and/or other will assist you or point you to the location on the wiki where to look and explain it to you.

The biggest hurdle is understanding what EXT4, and Journaling on/off works..but again its easier then it looks..

we also have video guides in the dev section to help assist you in doing stuff as well..
