My biggest worry is all this effort is being put forward on setting up a web based or unified rom builder only to have MS come back and stomp on us and send us a cease and desist letter from posting roms. I feel like we are painting this giant bulls-eye on ppcgeeks.com website. My personal opinion is that we paid for the phone, which means we paid for the OS and we're doing nothing different then slipstreaming the updates into the OS and reinstalling. But there's the thing. The people that make slipstreamed ISOs of windows don't redistribute them so they don't get nailed by MS, they just tell us how to do it.
How can we setup our work in such a way that we are left alone? Much like Bart PE takes your personal Win XP disk and makes a PE environment from it but does not redistribute the resulting ISO files ( http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/). Is there a way to do this with our phone's OS?
Oh, and feel free to count me in as a tester. I'm a computer tech and like living on the edge

BartPE is an interesting concept. I'm not sure how it would work in the WM environment. Perhaps some of the gurus can weigh in.
As for the bullseye, perhaps the key is ensure that all files are hosted outside of PPCGeeks so the site doesn't take the hit if MS tries to pull the plug.
Isn't that why XDA-Developers had to pull their stuff down...Because the hosted the files? |
Ok, now I know this is the first time I have posted. I have been around on sprintusers.com for a while, and I just got me two ppc-6700's so now in the last two weeks I have spent an average of 4 hours a day on this site reading through past threads. I also have been around in linux forums, so I know what a n00b is!
But, here is my idea. On sprint users you will frequently run across a post that has something in it about "The Site That Must Not Be Mentioned". This is a site where users will post stuff, but the site isn't listed on sprint users anywhere! After much searching, you can finally find enough information about it that a search in google will find it. Or, you can just PM any member that has been around for a while, and they will gladly tell you where to go.
Now this is what I was wondering if we should do. Someone set up a site, and we could just pm the address around. Or, maybe we could come up with a tricky way to post it on the website! Would this help the problems with Microsoft any? (I have a Linux Web Server with a 768KB upload speed, would this be fast enough? I know I havn't been around long, but its an option......)
