The first release version, at the beginning of May, was v.1.2.3 and I released v.1.2.5 earlier this month. I'm not completely up to speed with all the obscure acronyms so mom may or may not be FOSS depending on what it means ;-)</div><div><br></div><div>Many mom users are keen to have a place where they can discuss the application and I want to be able to announce changes, sound out ideas and get feedback. Google or Yahoo mailing lists were suggested as was a new OSM mailing list devoted to mom. For now, though, I have simply done a bit of housekeeping on what had become a messy <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Mom">wiki page</a> and created new pages specifically for suggestions, issues affecting particular phones and bugs and other problems where users are invited to join in.</div><div><br></div><div>elvin ibbotson</div></body></html>
