There are some JIRA tickets similar to "Pull Requests" on GitHub for ODDR, but even with a larger number of contributors, this may be a bit tedious.
I've pointed that out a few times, so fully agree here, a more "interactive" way would be better. Wikipedia once offered to "crawl" and collect UA data, not sure, if that ever came and where it is now? IMHO (not being a lawyer, but quite exposed to licensing stuff not just via ODDR but even more around JCP, Eclipse, etc.) places that simply gather User Agents without doing any processing (I believe there was at least one site even offering some Web API for that) seem fine to use as sources. We must not use any actual repository neither WURFL (beyond the point Bertrand captured, but its structure is worthless now anyway and not compatible with anything other than its propritary API) nor DeviceAtlas or others. The initial "Open_DB" / OMA sources were OK, but I don't believe they are still actively maintained either. So we can - Gather raw User Agent Data and process it into the right format via some crawler/service - Offer a Web UI and/or Service for people to contribute that way. As long as they somehow confirm to own the data (either paper or online) that seems OK, it may be just the class of contributor that uses JIRA here. If they use a service that contributes THEIR User Agent and interprets it, then that seems fine, we may only need some security, Capcha, etc. to avoid abuse. WDYT?
