Talk:Tomato (firmware)

message: This article is not about a person, group of people, band, club, company or website. It is about an open source firmware project. There are many similar articles on Wikipedia for other such firmware projects:
*DD-WRT
*HyperWRT
*OpenWrt
*Sveasoft
*Chillispot
*Earthlink
*Freifunk
*TinyPEAP
*WiFi-Box
*Neighbornode
*Tarifa
*WiFiDog Captive Portal
*FON
This article is no less significant or important than the articles above.
The firmware is also listed as a major project in the WRT54G article.
*It does seem a bit strange that this was tagged for speedy deletion. There have been some minor edit wars around wireless router firmware projects in the past, typically around a GPL-based project that is also commercial in nature.  Perhaps the existence of this article evoked one of those ghosts from the past?  Since Tomato seems to be not only here to stay, but is also rapidly gaining popularity because of its stability and user interface, I'm guessing this article is also now here to stay.

thread_title: Contesting Speedy Deletion

message: This article should probably be called either "Tomato Firmware" as the properly capitalized name or "Tomato (firmware)" as the name differentiating it from the vegetable/fruit.
The author's site, readme, and about page uses the name "Tomato Firmware", although there are many instances where the author just uses "Tomato".
I suggest that "Tomato firmware" (with lower-case f) be a redirect page to "Tomato Firmware", and that there be a "For the open source firmware project..." type of notice added to Tomato, as there is no disambiguation article. Mr. Zarniwoop 17:07, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: There is now a very good article for Tomato at Tomato_Firmware. I think this article should now redirect there, or the content there should be moved here, and that article should redirect here. -Kzrssk (talk) 04:13, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

message: This article and the wikibooks page state that the GUI is under a proprietary license, but I don't see any mention of any kind of license on the official site or in the source or binary distributions.  Is there a source for this? Kufat (talk) 01:27, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Documentation or links to documentation would be nice. It's hard to find anything meaningful, especially pertaining to installation (from scratch).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.98.233.229 (talk) 12:29, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

message: In the presentation, it is written "Tomato is a partially free ... ", but then nothing says which part is not free (and I'm wondering). There should at least be a reference to the Tomato site.Kbenoit (talk) 21:37, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

message: I'm afraid I don't see the relevance of adding a table of hardware specs for every supported device, that information would seem to belong on some sort of "Comparison of consumer network routing devices" page. Can you explain your rationale behind your effort before continuing any further, please? — ⚞ ℛogueScholar🐈 ₨🗩 ⚟ 10:20, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
