Not quite sure what this means? Do the developers actually update anywhere on PPCgeeks?

I thought the updates came from people who venture over to the their websites and update these forums with what they find. Maybe I'm mistaken.

GPS is working now!!!

I was able to get my gps to work by take this file and extracting the file
1. Download the latest rootfs.
2. Extract the lastest rootfs and rename it to (rootfs)
3. Find the andboot folder on your storage card.
4. Replace the rootfs file on your storage card with the new one you downloading from the web.
5. Run android and you are finished.

Now my gps works and I am happy!!!

So what are the "big" things left? And specifically with sound, how many slots left need to be worked on? I know that that with the TP2, there are 8 sound slots instead of just 1, so what number are we at and what are the sticking points with the unfinished slots?

Excellent. When Sound and power management is working, I will switch over to Android.

Great work, guys!

I keep up to date on their progress by reading the irc channel logs here:
http://irclog.netripper.com/?chan=htc-linux

It's interesting to know what features they have been working on and the kind of problems they've been encountering.

Thanks for the tip about the IRC channel. Although most of the discussion is above my level of understanding the following bit gave me a little hope....

"03:10 jonpry i found the problem with the gps driver using it. trying to get sound working now " (posted 5.8.10)

I think that for anyone eager to keep up on the Devs progress the IRC channel is the way to go.

Great work on the GPS. Will be back on Caulkins Android Rom tonight....

I'm in if a bounty is collected as well. Where do we contribute?

developing for a non-existing driver is no easy task. and i just don't see anyone wanting to devote so much time to tinker with tp2, when better phones could be had for around $200.

don't get me wrong, i'm keeping my fingers crossed that someone will come through for tp2. but i'm definitely not holding my breath.

i am planning to hold out until someone releases a 5 row keyboarded android with latest specs.

BTW, i don't know if incredible is enough of an improvement for me to switch from tp2, if i had to pay full price ($600)

Say hello to samsung Epic ... I am suprised that nobody is talking about it...???

lol, because most of us here are not blackberry fans and that's a mirror image of one... And the guy you quoted I believe was talking about a slide out keyboard, not front facing one, those are old school...
