Adam/all, Thanks a lot for the input and interest in helping maintain device data. As of now, the repository files are structurally compatible, and where W3C DDR specified that also major client API.
A "How to contribute" guide, similar to e.g. the Agorava project ( http://agorava.org/contributing/) is probably a good idea. If you are not an Apache committer to any other project, it's probably best to start by filing change requests for device data in JIRA https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DMAP. Interesting to hear about the BrowserCap project. Especially maintaining device data was not so different at OpenDDR recently, and a monthly launch cycle got slower in Q1, so we may have a similar situation here. Which is why we hope to have a decent number of people maintain this kind of information at DeviceMap rather than have several small projects do this side by side at a slower pace.
