[maemo-community] Maemo Community Award

[From: Luke-Jr]

While I feel Gentoo users should be able to figure most of this out on their 
own, I spent some time documenting Gentoo/N900 (at Estel's request, admittedly 
mainly in hopes of winning a N950):
	http://wiki.maemo.org/Gentoo/N900

It's not complete yet, but I thought I should mention it publicly before it 
gets to be late in the contest timeline. This also covers basic Ofono use on 
Gentoo.

I also decided the reverse engineered N900 GPS information on the Maemo wiki 
was a bit *too* outdated, and updated it with much finer details:
	http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_GPS_Reverse_Engineering#Protocol_Details

There is information on my past N8x0 kernel work here (note that not 100% of 
this is my work):

Thanks again for considering me,

Luke
