Hi,
I believe this is also the very first mail to the list... :-)
We've just published a fourth status update, here:
https://maemo-leste.github.io/maemo-leste-fourth-update-july-august-2018.html
The N900 images linked in that update should now boot to a
hildon-desktop with functioning wifi(icd2 backed by wpa_supplicant).
After a (first) reboot, the virtual keyboard (hildon-input-method)
should also work, once enabled from the settings!
Booting on the N900 still takes more than a few minutes due to some
PowerVR bugs.
Hopefully having a mailing list will make collaboration with people who
do not use IRC easier.
If there are any questions or suggestions, wishes, please share!
Cheers,
Merlijn
