yep, its a legit post. I was following the story on irc and also already donated.

I try to be judicious with my donating because I am not too well off, but in this case it was important to me to show my support.

1) Although there is a huuuge community involved in pre development (many thanks to them, but thats another thread(s)), rwhitby specifically has helped me out alot with his posts and tireless advice.

2) his posts and info directly led to me taking the "access linux" plunge, and just today I rooted in to my phone to prevent auto updates... successfully!

3) his (and WOS-internals) vehement adherence to the mantra of Open Source, Open Access has forced developers and pimpers to to take into account the need and benefits of maintaining transparency.


So, yeh... donating is personal, in that we each choose what was important enough to warrant it for our particular circumstances, but in this case I feel it is important to show rwhitby some support.

I hope you will as well.... that webos-internals community is like the "man behind the curtain" in the Pre version of Wizard of Oz... fitting for an Aussie!

And damn... you cant skin or touchstone a emulator!
