"MeeGo platform doesn't move forward if a change breaks N900 - it is a reference device."

This makes me all warm and fuzzy inside

For once probably in a lifetime the way you are ! i actually agree with you and the problem i need to get over is getting a supply to the device not using the usb port and unless someone can give me direction there i am afraid to say the extra pin or charge socket is needed as otg will drain the battery in just an hour or so.

Even the HD2 which I sold to get the n900 has USB host.

The question is: how can a person like me contribute to your project?
We are providing non-destructive load-your-kernel-not-flash and dd-image-to-microSD installs for a reason

For devices that need more substantial power, an external powered hub will work.

Host is one thing but even that will drain battery and otg simply does not work because the tranciever is not wired up to monitor for signal from the usb port so how the hell they will get host to work without the wiring mod i have no idea.

abill, like I've told you so many times. It already works, the reason host mode was chosen over otg is specifically because it does not require any wiring changes. It will not drain the battery when a usb hub is being used, and should even be possible to simultaneously charge at the same time. All host mode needs is a little kernel tinkering to get it to work reliably and easily.

We tried that and got the hot wire situation and the reason i installed a charge socket.
It is only a small hole and if drilled properly looks like it was there from manufacturer.

Okay, but how can an application developer contribute to OS development?
