Dear KDE develpers,

I recently joined the list.  

I am interested in Linux for portable, wearable and instrumentation computers.  I use \
KDE (and currently  attempting the herculian task to port Windows DAS software -with \
the minefield of proprietary libraries  (using matchmaker AMCC5933 to Linux/KDE).   \
Linux implementations on  application-tailored  cpu's (i,e, some with integrated pci \
controller etc) for wearable and instrumentation applications  would certainly  make \
for easy and interesting instrumentation and pda applications.  Being so impressed \
with KDE  I hope KDE it will have a part to play in  this emerging  area of linux \
implementation.  

I thus hope the rest of this message is not out  of place here but ... 

I would like to bring to the  attention of the KDE developer groups    linux-ce  \
where some exiting  ports of linux to traditional  windows-ce  (cpu's) and devices \
are underway.   As a fan of linux and KDE ,  I beleive there there is probably a need \
for  input on GUI from arguably the premier linux-GUI group::

(a) the  main cite is www.linuxce.org   

however only on the archive of  mailing show the recent interesting developments.  \
These are on

(b)    www.linuxce.org/mailing-list/linux-devel/archives/mailist.html

Then there are also two  recent  win-ce devices  (using a RISC cpu  a version fo \
which linux has just been ported to) and thus  of much potential to  linux-ce  (and \
hopefully kde) 

(c)  a panel pc at  http://www.hitachi.com/hpc/

(d) a notebook   http://www.compaq.com/products/handhelds/8000/ 

regards
sibu
