I just got a link from Angel Ancin at iRex.

http://developer.irexnet.com/

There isn't really anything there yet, but it should prove useful once it's done...:-)

iRex will soon release the code to comply with GPL.
Curious, how much of the iRex software is based on GPL?

iLiad SDK available Q4 2006.
To anyone or just to "selected partners"?

Download and forum sections available soon.
Forum sections - we have that already! ;) Seriously, except for support questions, I think it's better to have a neutral place for discussions.

Hmm we could have got an answer of the kind "guys, press Confirm/Next/Archive keys simultaneusly to enable the network login, that is all"

I think as soon they release the SDK they also have to give the Devs Access to their devices... And IMO they aren't really concerned about security... They give us root-access...

Yap, and all the programms run with root access, that is very secure :)
Now we just need a iLiad-Programming-Manual, anyone found that yet?

What's the meaning behind the "realroot" directory?

Sorry, it's called old-root or new-root.

Originally there was a plan to release documentation on how to optimize documents for the Iliad. Do you know what happened to those plans? (What I describe here (http://www.teleread.org/blog/?p=4619) as Level One of developer information.)

I'd certainly look forward to it, even though personally I would only be able to take advantage of any document optimization techniques.

But my fondest wish, ever since I got into eBooks in '98 with the Reb1100, and then started learning about e-ink displays, is that someone will port one or more TEXT-ADVENTURE / INTERACTIVE FICTION engines to something like the iRex! (after the SDK is available)

It would be a match made in haven: It does require a computer of sorts to parse the input/output (unlike a book) and it has lots of text (which is _always_ more pleasant to read on paper (unlike rather a computer-screen!

Plus, classic engines like Frotz/Inform have been ported to even the oldest/lowliest Palm PDAs (and Linux-likes, of course), so the iRex should have more than enough horse-power to handle it, and a screen-engine that should make for some really nice typography...

The missing pages are now available, and it sounds quite interesting what we get to read there :)

I may have overlooked the answer elsewhere; the How to make content for your iLiad (http://www.irextechnologies.com/downloads/docs) tutorial is now available from Irex' Downloads section. (Is that what you meant by "missing pages", Tribble?)

Heh, with Inform 7 coming up even the source codes of text adventures are going to be fun to read. :)

No, on the developer page, there are links to gpl and sdk. They ended up in nirvana yesterday. Today you find information there.
