Plans on Neo900 which won't happen without your help
HoukimeIt's way beyond the "we need help" state. It's in the "do it yourself or nothing gets done" state since start of year already. (Joerg-Neo900)
Intro
The previous model of developing Neo-900 wasn't up to a task so let's take a deep breath and think _together_ what to do next.
This is the page for community-based planning and stuff.
Feel free to join the discussion. Proposals to move a discussion to a more appealing platform are ok. Any proposals are ok. Nothing is set in stone anymore.
CONTACT
Site is www.neo900.org

* Schematics - DONE
* Layout - [CURRENT]
* Testing - DREAMS

WORK
v2 pcb layout
HOW TO DO:
- Forget fear
- ask Joerg-Neo900 or houkime in #neo900 (freenode IRC)
- get your hands on copy of the layout (Joerg is afraid of "chinese copycats" so it is an individual application)
- start your own branch
- Try to do sth with this mess and learn sth while doing.
- No valid result obtained IS OK.
System administration
HOW TO DO:
- forget fear
- ask Joerg-Neo900 or atk in #neo900 (freenode IRC)
- help out.
Focus:
- make collaboration on the project easier
Might involve:
- Getting to know very old stuff in order to get rid of it.
- Getting insulted by people not willing to know GIT (Joerg).
Must involve:
- you eventually becoming omnipotent master of GIT.
Example (from Joerg):
- create/install a wikiwiki on neo900.org servers for a better community-driven todo and specs page etc
Other Example (highly needed):
- Setup a gitserver with a nice interface and which makes Neo900 easy to contribute to.
Social (can be mixed with others)
HOW TO DO:
- forget fear (no, really)
- ask Joerg-Neo900 in #neo900 (freenode IRC)
- Annoy other project people with questions and start discussions.
- Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, blogs, forums whatever you like.
- Challenge:Make Joerg write a post on Git hatred and gather 100k likes under it.
