  * Alarms
 
  It is possible to set an alarm, which will be shown in the alarm window. When
- the alarm expires, the phone wakes up if it is suspended, and zavai vibrates
- for 5 seconds.
+ the alarm expires, the phone wakes up if it is suspended, and zavai vibrates,
+ turns on baclight, shows a big ACK button and flashes the AUX led for 30
+ seconds.
 
- It is planned to use the AUX button to acknowledge the alarm and stop the
- vibration; when this will happen, vibration can go on for more than 5 seconds.
+ You can use the big button on screen or the AUX button to acknowledge the
+ alarm and stop all the attention-seeking activities.
  
  When I'll implement some audio playing infrastructure, I'll implement playing
  an audio file as well.
 
- Also missing are a popup that tells that an alarm is ringing, and a notifier
- for unacknowledged popups.
+ Alarms (acknowledged or not) are logged in "~/.zavai/log-alarm/". Still
+ missing, howerver, is a way to show that an alarm rang and noone noticed.
 
  Patches welcome.
 
- Details: the alarms are scheduled with at(1). Please see omhacks for simple
- suspend hooks that will wake up the phone to run scheduled at jobs.
+ Details: the alarms are scheduled with at(1): they stay scheduled even if
+ zavai is restarted, and you can see them with "atq". Please see omhacks for

   - interface zavai with a proper calendar system, without making the interface
     harder to use (if you can).
 
+ * GSM
+
+ If you have a pin, add 'sim_pin = "1234"' to ~/.zavai/config
+
+ Don't start frameworkd at boot. Get rid of fso-usaged from your system (it
+ will be started by dbus when frameworkd starts, if it's there).
+
+ Now you can use zavai to turn on GSM, including powering up the antenna and
+ providing the PIN if required by the SIM.
+
+ It does not currently do anything else beside turning things on. It is useful,
+ however, to make GSM services available to simple scripts like SMS or contact
+ list dump tools.

 Stability / design
 
  Zavai currently focuses on the interface side, trying to make it easy for me
