I can tell you on my example: some time ago I was unknown community member, doing development mostly only for Polish community. Then I just asked for something I could do for SHR - Ainulindale (IIRC) said that we need new settings app. And I wrote it, and SHR Settings is now in all images, and i'm SHR coreteam member :) AFAIK same was with pyphonelog, mokonnect, ffalarms and few other apps. SHR has also the best (in my opinion) system for handling patches, everyone can do "git send-email" to shr-devel list and patches will arrive in our patchwork. There is coreteam, but most important and almost all visible changes in images are voted by community. Coreteam handles more "smart" issues, as discussing how to handle stable->testing->unstable system, new phoneui API, coding schemes and other things, but results of coreteam discussions are also discussed by users after that. And AFAIK in coreteam ATM are *all* of people who just asked for that when coreteam was created. So to sum up: in my experience SHR development seems to be the most easy to join than in other big Openmoko distros. And SHR is open to new packages and UIs - the whole concept of libframeworkd-phonegui is about openness and having choise. -- Sebastian Krzyszkowiak dos _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
