Matt i appreciate your efforts on the TWiki, but i think the tone in the writing should not contain anything which indicates that one person is building it single handedly.

I would wait for answer from Matt, before merge. Because Matt must do that prototype for his school project, and maybe we wants to go "alone" to get it done in time.
Anyway, we can win a lot with Matt work. Spark, you can also start drawing "your" schematic. I will help everyone but we will feel the need to merge, to join our energies. Spark, you can also wait for Matt finish and after we can start to work on another version.... eheh, a lot of ideas :-)

Casainho, There is nothing such as "my" schematic or "your" schematic. The beauty of working together is to have "our" schematic. it doesn't matter who does the drawing. A good schematic is a result of many inputs from different people.

Schmartboards has a prototyping system for BGA chips. Anybody every seen these?

Looks good for prototypes, however Matt(aka mzandrew), said "I want to save as much space as possible on the main board" so I think it will not help.
We need help from a company that have resources to assembly BGA! We can't go to talk with them without a working prototype!
I asked "Ambient light sensor? - whats for? can you explain?" - I already know after reading http://arm7-oled-clock.googlecode.com/files/arm7-oled-clock-project-write-up.pdf

That's a typical catch22. If you design a circuit using prototype boards (which will be larger than
the desired end product) you can prove your circuit schematic and software concept, then layout the final board and have it assembled in larger numbers (and finish the software design).
