Wow.  I wish I'd know about this before I bought my Sony DSC-w55.
I really like a lot of things about the Sony camera, but there
are some missing features (RAW format, for example) that seem like
they'd be easy to implement, and were just left out to differentiate
this model from higher-priced ones.  Are there similar projects for
other cameras?

i first found out about this 6 months ago from an o'reilly blog post which references this equally old linux.com article, so the info has been out there for a little while, you just have to "cast a wide enough net" with your rss reader to catch it.
