Yes, it is in my radar and in my N800, actually. I bought me a new 4GB SD card a few weeks ago hoping, among other things, to install Mer and see if I could use it or help developing. Unfortunately, I couldn't do either. I am a programmer myself, I do like looking at the digital guts of my tools, but right now I don't think Mer is already on a stage I can contribute to, partly because I won't have the time to work and learn, and partly due to lack of patience and willingness.

I hope with a few more months it will become usable enough for me and other people who are not yet feeling comfortable enough with using it... And until then I'll be playing with Diablo.

The reason I started this thread is because I am back at using Canola. I just love that program!... But it looks like development has stalled. I want to help improving it, but I'm not sure where to start. Where are the other Canola users and developers? Where is the community?

I just changed the python script to fetch album covers from coverhunt.com, but I'm not sure where I should submit the patch to. I am also working on a python script to tag mp3 files with data from tracktype.org. I want to share this work, and I want people to help, but I'm not sure what to do. It feels easier to just throw everything in some forum or blog post, or into a web page.

In ohter words: I'm feeling more like I'm hacking alone than like I'm contributing to other NIT users. I am probably just looking at the wrong places. I would be more than happy if you help me, guiding me to my herd, and maybe other users/developers feeling like I am can see this thread and be helped too.

Replies so far were helpful indeed, thanks to all. :]
