Well after several weeks of trying to work on things (and 10 days of waiting for SourceForge) I’ve managed to get the first Beta-build of PowerTray published and available for download.

Well it certainly didn’t take long to start some new and interesting open-source projects geared around Nintendo’s new darling system. The Wii has inspired the folks over at WiiLi.org to create a version of Linux to run on this next-generation console.
