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:
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.
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)
Deleting articles makes wikipedia more useful? Please explain that one. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gtfrde (talk • contribs) 17:59, 31 December 2006 (UTC).
This article should redirect to Linksys WRT54G series instead, in order to avoid a double redirect. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ehn (talk • contribs) 18:33, 28 January 2007 (UTC).
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)
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)
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)

@Bellocarico: 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)
@RogueScholar: Hi there! This is rs232 from the tomato linksys forum btw aka bellocarico here on wikipedia. Yes you have the point there. Sure. Essentially what happened is that we needed to expand the Shibby (discontinued) router list from his site complementing with the new models provided by Freshtomato. We also wanted to do this in a collaborative way so using Wikipedia happened to be a natural choice. On the tomato forum we already discussed this specific point and yes I think we all agree that it would be better to moved this table somewhere onto the Freshtomato site sooner rather than later. The freshtomato.org site though is being redeployed as I speak so, if it's not a big issue, I would prefer to gather this info here until it can be moved out safely. I'm not a Wikipedia guru, but could you otherwise suggest an alternative way to have this information surviving within Wikipedia without being necessarily a consumer page as such? Thanks!
Perhaps add something about the admin web authentication Muhstik botnet attack, January 2020?
