My understanding from the posts by SHR devs is that the plan is to offer
exactly the kind of choice you are talking about and not force people to use
the default windows, phone, PIM managers. For this I fully agree that
applications need to move into the SHR repo and be updated (I asked about
call recorder a couple of days ago and the latest package is not in the SHR
repos). Maybe a simple howto for developers to get their package in the SHR
repo as an easy to find place would help.

Maybe someone can build an SHR U image giving an option of Illume and Qualee
(with some of the fixes/ workarounds already installed) I will ask Methril
if he has time for this. We can judge the reaction based on this. But once
the SHR package manager is there and Qualee is packaged for the SHR repo I
hope there will be no need for such images.

Rakshat, i think this is kind of connected to you your recent email

That is why more and more applications need to be in the SHR repo and there
needs to be a communication medium between app developers and SHR repo
manager. Addition of the keyboards to the SHR repo is a good first step in
this direction.

BTW c_c if you are reading this can you please request for a fixed intone
video to be pushed to the SHR repo.

I too dont have enough knowledge in this area.
