If things are going this way, I vote for begin investigating the OpenEmbedded build process and create an OpenIliad distribution.

I buyed the iLiad for hacking and reading books, but if it's not hackable, there is no fun ;-)

The mayor problem right now is figuring a (safe) way to flash new versions of the firmware.

And that we don't know (yet) the proper method to use /dev/fb0 to draw small regions in the screen (it's used for the scribble function...), and the interface to the wacom tablet. For now we can use the irex kernel, but knowing the interfaces to the iliad specific functions would be very very handy...
