status of the 2.6 kernel?

Hi,
I finally tried the 2.6 kernel from OpenEmbedded. It seems to boot, but PCMCIA
doesn't seem to work properly (kernel panic...). I managed to boot GPE and run
applications, but the experience stopped here.
I was wondering if someone (Mickey?) could give a list of what's left to do in
that 2.6 kernel, maybe with some indications for volunteer workers (where should
I look, should I port this from the 2.4 kernel, from the Zaurus 2.6 kernel, or
write it from scratch?)...
A good idea would be to have this on a Wiki (probably OE's Wiki, since
opensimpad.org's future is undefined).
I'll try again 2.4 for mainstream use (I think a simpad-2.4.conf machine
configuration file in OE would be great for that. I did one by just changing the
kernel and adding a PREFERRED_version for orinoco modules - I'll change tslib
config by hand but this could be done automatically too).
