Re: [Gtkpod-questions] Using Motorola L7 SLVR w/ iTunes

[Jorg S. <Jor...@gm...>]

Hi Kerry,

good to hear that it's working fine, and thank you very much for your 
offer to help.

Documentation is a very good suggestion -- we had some discussion about 
this a few weeks ago.

It was proposed that we go with a wiki, which is probably a good idea as 
it allows fast editing by everyone who gets confused.

I've set up a space at gtkpod.wikispaces.com -- it can be edited by anyone.

If you are interested you could start off this work by transferring the 
information given in the README file to that site and modify and 
structure it to your liking.

By the way, I've spent one day in SLC earlier this year. I wanted to see 
the Salt Lake and also the headquarter of the Mormon church. Both were 
quite impressive, but I hope you got some rain since then (the Big Salt 
Lake was very much dried out...).

I hope your health will recover well -- don't work too hard on this 
project ;-)

Cheers,


JCS.
