Im on the same boat as you. I just bought a dreamplug a week ago with wheezy preinstalled and im still messing with it. AFAIK there is no need for jtag if there is already a bootloader installed. I didnt need one so far.
There is an irc channel in irc.debian.org called #freedombox... i guess you can find people interested there :) regarding things to do, it really depends on what you want to do. I think theres is plenty of fun stuff to do yet. for example, i think they need help to package owncloud. There is an ITP for owncloud v2 [1]. In the middle v3 came out, and a few days ago v4 came out. It seems upstream is a fast moving target and they need people to keep up :) In my case, im still identifying my use cases and making some perl scripts to make my own set up work :P The software is intended to work in regular boxes and Im still kinda new to debian, but my advice for you is to get a dreamplug, make it work for you the way you expect it to work, and you will be able to find blockers and plenty of room for improvement for yourself :) also, the wiki is full of crazy ideas if you lack some... greets! aL [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=648674 On Sat, May 26, 2012 at 9:55 PM, Rick Hodgin <[email protected]> wrote: > I have desired since January to work on this project.
