iRex originally used the matchbox keyboard in firmware 2.7. When they switched to the vision objects keyboard, they symlinked matchbox-keyboard to ereaderim. A drop in matchbox-keyboard from the 2.7 firmware should work without a problem.

I think we should put network scripts in 2.14. One thing I'd like 2.14 to include is a "Programs" folder accessible from the system menu. (We might move it elsewhere during the 2.15 UI redesign; this is just to start.) We can use this as a location for non-file-related programs (calendar? sudoku?) as well as scripts. I'm not wild about this concept, but I can't think of a better implementation, unless EVERY program has an associated file type...?

Agreed. A "Programs" folder in the system menu seems like a good solution for now.

Of course, dropbear and networking should never be started at boot because of the power drain, and because the vast majority of users don't need them.
I'm in favor of trying some pre-install/post-install scripts to simply move/restore the existing mobipocket installation. A solution like that could hold us until we can find a better alternative. It would be great if iRex could provide a just-Mobipocket package via iDS.
Alternately, it would be great if they could make the whole community OS available through official iDS, effectively adopting the community development as the new official version. But I doubt they'd be willing to do that.

Agreed. I doubt they'll ever do that, but we can work around that problem.
