Yes.
And maybe it's time to setup a trac (or whatever) -based site and list
issues waiting to be resolved? So people willing to help Michael
could try picking one and actually fixin' them.
Any volunteers?
OK, perhaps it's time to formalise what we think is needed to set up our
things and help out Michael? What would we require:
- wiki like QtMoko (or use and expand the Android section on the openmoko
wiki?)
- trac
- mailinglist
- ... ?
Jim Ancona already suggested to help out with hosting some services in
his posts on the Koolu forum.
Perhaps Jim wants to take this up??
(Jim also sent the mail to Brian, Marcelo and Jon Maddog Hall to get a
formal statement from Koolu on their plans. No avail so far).
Git-wise we're covered, I think:
Jim already mirrored the Koolu repository and created a project on
Gitorious to host the code: http://gitorious.org/android-on-freerunner/.
Serdar Dere is maintaining a Git repository on
http://serdar-dere.net/cgi-bin/ which is being used by Michael Trimarchi.
The good thing with a new repo would be that all things would be in one
place, on the other hand we would be at more risk if that disappears without
warning.
Now that I have confirmed that this list is hosted by koolu I would say one
high priority would be to move off this list as if it disappears we would
have a hard time to communicate and that would make everything really hard.
If we get some answers from koolu saying that the list can stay and we think
they are in a reasonable financial situation then we could stay but this no
answer thing creeps me out. I read it as they are in trouble (as in hard
pressed to get money and don't have time to answer questions from us) and
then if they go belly up this list can disappear very quikly.
Heck, you are right! The mailing list must be our first priority.
If Michael himself uses Serdar's repository (and it's mirrored
regularly), then there's probably no need for a new one.
So we're missing a formal bug tracker which should ease other people's
participation in development (currently, no one stops us to send
patches to Michael).
I think we all would really love to see this Android port see some new
hackers in! :)
I can put up a new maillist at the computer society Lysator at Linköping
University in Sweden. The society have has the maillist service running
for many years now so it should be a safe place. I will put one up today
and send the address out here. As a start we can have that list as a
backup until we decide what we want to do in the long run.
