Plus a few pieces (like SFOS platform SDK images) are internal only, which are kind of annoying.

I'd really like to see some focus on making 'getting started' on platform hacking a lot easier and more accessible.

Getting started on platform hacking - but also on all kinds of contributions to the whole system... As a wise man once described here:

Still my personal impression is (and I'd love to be corrected) that constructive input other that "feature request" here and "doesn't work sometimes" there is rare. Yes, it's difficult to get started, and it would be absurd to expect all of those who demand changes to actually contribute on a code level. But are there any users who contribute at all? Is there any benefit from having even parts of the code open?
