Some G1G1 users are going to be sophisticated enough to search the web, 
find a server URL on the wiki and attempt to collaborate using it. :) I 
think the "real answer" is to find a corporate entity who will view this 
as a marketing opportunity and provide the infrastructure, much like 
T-Mobile have done with a year of free wireless connectivity.

Speaking of such "sophisticated G1G1 users", I've built VMware images of 
ship2, and I can do so for Joyride as well. Is there a place where I 
could post such images for people who are waiting for their G1G1 
hardware, so they can experiment with the interface?
