Hi Jocahim!

First of all, thanks to both Sebastian and you for having followed this
issue.

Fully agree.  Another "problematic" point is the fact that the pkg-fso
project should only be for packaging work.  And openmoko-panel-plugin is
not a software for Debian only.

Very good point.  IMHO it would be probably better to keep all the
infrastructure as it is, thus using projects.openmoko.o if the latter
supports Git.  This will remove some burden due to migration.

OTOH, to me it seems that the openmoko-panel-plugin is not at all
Openmoko-specific.  On the contrary, it is a plugin for the FSO
frameworkd, which means that a better name would be fso-panel-plugin or
something similar.  I know I can be a maniac in such things, but I can
see a valid use of the plugin even on a desktop computer.

I will leave all this stuff to Sebastian, Christian and Joachim :-)

FYI, I would like to start uploading the pkg-fso packages to Debian in
the end of this week of the following one.

Very clear.

Thx, bye,
