Nowadays, the project is in a much better shape, and I think the situation would be different now that potential contributors see that the project is active, has an official maintainer, deliver regular releases, etc. Sincerly, Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, Free Electrons Kernel, drivers and embedded Linux development, consulting, training and support. http://free-electrons.com
