You're welcome to start doing so As for promises, so far, every and each one have been fulfilled, while others are in the process of being completed. No person without much bad will have any existing reasons to doubt completion of the project. I don't even want to go into things like fact that completion date was *never* promised (it will be done when it will be done), and every single per-orderer/donor - of which you're neither - acknowledged that.

Quite a few humanitarian projects to aid Ukrainian people during recent conflict, thanks for asking. But, what does it have to do backcover/body replacement, my success. or your perceived one? (if - rather poor - status of affairs relating TMO, can be even called that). I'm leaving aside fact, that "success" tends to have have many fathers I guess there would be quite a bunch of other people that like to call Maemo's survival "their legacy", and some - like your "best friend" joerg - would have vastly different opinion on your "positive" role during those days.

Anyway, the point is, that your "legacy argument" is hardly related to backcover/body replacement project, and you were criticizing exactly that. Show us your expertise/achievements in that regard, or grab files from gitorious and create some, either by contributing or forking. This project uses FOSS-only software and have all the files published and available, so you have everything you need to actually do something constructive.

Unless you came here only to troll us a little, judging by tone of your posts? In such case, bad luck, you were just left with "pants down and nothing to show", as we, barbarian women of the far northeast use to say, pardon my in promptu translation.

I'm glad that there is at least an on-topic question, coming out of it. Yes, inductive charging for sure wouldn't work through alu backcover. But, there should be a possibility to user-mod it, placing flat part with coil on the outside, and creating small holes for cables to carry current inside, to pads or plates. Forwarding the question to Estel, for evaluation of possibilities

As you probably know (I'm absolutely sure that you carefully went through our latest progress update, before starting to criticize us), we will be having every 2-weeks "hardcoded" progress updates. So, surely, you won't miss it. And the countdown is cool idea, actually
