Right now I wouldn't want to install it on my phone, and I doubt many others would install it because of its current lack of functionality. Is Jolla helping with this effort or is it now just a community effort to port sailfish to the N9?
Some of these already work: calling, texting/sms and Sailfish applications all work just fine already. We still need the camera to be fixed, as well as GPS and some bugs with the sound.

As for who's working on this: Jolla is not contributing, but is supporting the community efforts to do so. As I understand it, this is because of legal issues due to the devs' status as former Nokia employees. I also do not currently have a dev environment that would let me contribute to this, but I'm hoping to set one up next month and take a crack at the sound issues.
