Yes, I agree with a fully-working 'gphoto2' on the N8xx platform would be very cool, but I am personally getting worried that it won't become reliable unless much smarter people that me get involved

Personally for me, the '--capture-image' is the most important function, followed by '--get-all-files'. As I posted in the thread on the 'gphoto2' newsgroup (in the thread http://www.nabble.com/Nokia-N800-to13492935.html") I *was* able to do this with some sporadic success with two Nikon Coolpix cameras -- but mostly only on the 2.4.0 version and not 2.4.0.1. The most annoying thing that can occur is a 'reboot' of the N8xx device -- to me this makes it *unreliable*, and unless smart people work to fix this, it might mean a 'dead end' for people like me i.e. my 'skills' are limited to successfully cross-compiling the code -- not 'debugging' the code

I would suggest that people interested in this project watch *this* thread, as well as participate in the 'gphoto2' newsgroup.
