I don't control the various sites that you mentioned, though it's true at this point that having the information out there would indeed be good, given the growing evidence that many developers are eager to find that information. I'll mention it to our web guys in case they're not already reading this.
Hoping to make the answers easier to find for other people who might search around, I'll answer your questions here (though the second one would really be more appropriate on the android-platform list as it's not directly related to development with the official SDK). -the 1.0 images aren't currently available either. I expect that they'll be made available at the same time as the 1.1 images (which will allow to switch back and forth between the two). I don't know any specific time frame for this to happen. -the exact source code for the entire 1.0 build is not available, though the android-1.0 tag in the git repositories is a reasonably close approximation of the underlying platform (the differences being essentially cosmetic). That will still be missing the proprietary Google applications that are built on top of the platform, and in addition the proprietary files necessary to run Android on Dream need to be extracted from an existing device. Being able to build and run (even without the Google bits) might be a harder task than it seems. I don't expect that the source code for the 1.1 platform will be available as our primary goal in this area is to switch to a real open-source mode where discussions, design and development happen "in the open", and that goal is using all the resources that would otherwise be able to work on a 1.1 code drop.
