Thanks,

so far this is the cleanest explanation of the project I have yet seen.

You can buy the Alcatel One Touch. It works for us (Gaia developers)

The Alcatel One Touch is not well suited for platform development. I'd
suggest to get an old Nexus 4 phone. It's fast an mostly Open Source.

Could you please explain this in more detail? Is this an observation or
mozilla policy?

That's just an observation.

Mozilla's Gecko source code is the reference implementation,

How can that work since Gecko is above Gonk? Does this mean that there is no 'reference implementation' of the full Firefox OS, i.e. is there any 'reference implementation' of Gonk?

but phone
vendors are free to add patches or make changes. When you buy an Alcatel
One Touch, it contains the vendor's version. This doesn't make a
difference for the installed Apps, but it can at the platform level. The
Nexus 4 port is maintained directly by Mozilla; so it's a lot more
likely to work with our version of Gecko out of the box.

Is that the only hardware device which is 'maintained directly by Mozilla' or are there others? Will the tablet being released by Mozilla have its own reference implementation?


Best regards
Thomas
