Many of the points I was asking for an improvement seem to have been corrected (as always with a Tariq Krim project):
- resizing,
- double icon in the task bar ...

Well, we all need to just way another few days to be able to test it on our own ;-)

Jolicloud’s Pre-Beta release will support native resolution for Intel Atom z500-series netbooks with the GMA500 chipset.

Adam McDaniel, who joined Jolicloud in January 2009 as lead OS architect, announced in the new Jolicloud's Developers Blog that "Jolicloud’s Pre-Beta release will support native resolution for Intel Atom z500-series netbooks with the GMA500 chipset."

This includes the Asus Eee PC T91MT, Eee PC 1101HA, Eee PC 1201HA, Acer Aspire One 751, Dell Inspiron Mini 10, and Sony Vaio P, among others.

The role of Adam McDaniel is to provide Jolicloud with support for as many netbook architectures as possible, and to fix the other little quirks that other Linux distributions have not yet solved.

Google Wave works ok on Jolicloud Os but screen is small

I just received my own Google Wave invite. So here is a capture of my waving on my Dell Mini 9 with Jolicloud , the Os for netbooks with Chrome Dev as browser (was not working on FF).

Gwave is quite "rigid" as it is in beta... everybody is looking for something: gadgets, extensions, edit, delete...

It is difficult to exploit it at the moment. Some say : "it is like IRC of 1998"...

My own thought, now: the screen is too small as the resize is offered by Gwave.
