The description attached to this forum is:
"OpenInkpot is a community project aimed at creating a free, open-source firmware replacement for various e-book devices."
And the openinkpot website says, at the very top:
"OpenInkpot is a free and open-source Linux distribution for eink-based devices."
These descriptions, for those who know what the terms "linux distribution" and "firmware" mean, pretty much say it all. But that's always an issue with projects run by tech savvy people: they don't know how to talk to people who aren't.
That said, this a community project, where the philosophy is "don't complain, contribute!" If you find the explanations insufficient, submit your own. We need all the help we can get (don't forget, either, that this project is run by non-native English speakers).
And as for us wanting to discourage users, not at all! Anyone who's tried it will tell you it is pretty damn stable and usable already.
