Rooting and hacking a G1?

Well first off I have a droid and love it.

But I was thinking of trying to convince my buddy to let me put 2.1 (or even 2.2 if its out yet) on his phone.

After some google searching, I found a lot of news articles and even some downloads for the G1 and roms. But I would really like to see some sort of community.

Theres just something about having users post something, and then seeing peoples responses

"I love it, I hate it, Im having this problem, im having that problem"

It seems a lot more helpful to me then just seeing some news article with a download link.

So I was curious if anyone knew some forums or community that had a good G1 participation in it (even though its an old phone. I always trust the opinions of people from droidforums! and i dont think ill ever leave

You should try XDA Developers or Cyanogenmod.
(Google those)
XDA is great for any HTC phone (G1).
Cyanogen is a great Area and very well know, as well.

Woo thanks I kinda ignored the xda stuff because I didn't think that was what I needed. But it turns out it was exactly that.

I havr 2.2 running on my friends g1 flawlessly thanks!
