Ashot I looked at ur site and thank u for creating it. I also agree with ur idea on how to organize the information.
From what u said in realation to uploading, maybe it would require an FTP site. That would allow for the transmonde owners themselves to do most of the sorting of files in the upload process. After a time the site would have all of the nessary files. Create a branch for each model for the model-dependent files. It looks to me to be rather streight forward. Maybe the FTP site could be linked so still would be able to work from web site. I would be willing to contribute the good files i have. Somewhere i have most if not all of the updated drivers for the Vivante SE, plus the ones which came on the CD.
