MID Wiki content trickles in, our contest prizes trickle out

Thank you to the few people who have contributed to the MID Wiki!  We have the first few winners selected and will be posting their names shortly.  Sadly, we're not getting as many submissions as we were hoping.  Since there is a $100 weekly prize for the winning submission each week, the only logical conclusion is that MID developers do not like money.  I wish I didn't work for Intel, because then I could enter the contest and I really like money.  I could add information about developing for the iPhone or Google Android. I could create articles discussing the distribution methods for the different device applications. I could create articles talking about the challenges of developing for small screens, or how to help manage connectivity on always mobile devices.

Fortunately for all the people who don't work for Intel and might want to enter, there are some new articles in the wiki from Intel engineers that you can start adding to.  For example, we've started publishing some internal information like "Connecting Wirelessly from a MID" and "Linux Profiling on MID".   More are on the way.

We're also trying something by taking some content that was planned for a PDF formatted "white paper" and putting it in the MID Wiki instead.  Now it will be easier for us to keep up to date in addition to getting input from people who find it the content helpful.  Loc Nguyen was the first to give this a try with his information on using the D-Bus message bus.  Feedback (and contributions) are welcome!

Hopefully some of this helps give you ideas on where to contribute to the MID Wiki.  And if you just don't like money, you can certainly contribute for the glory of it all!
