The e-smith server and gateway has now reached stability as a software project. We have the necessary infrastructure in place to start working more on add-ons, customisations, and services.
The development of the e-smith server and gateway is now tending away from systems development and towards applications development, with a related shift in the type of skills, experience and interests required of developers. This also permits developers to work on e-smith without a deep understanding of the underlying operating system.
We are hopeful that the coming months will see an increase in contributions from the Linux and Open Source communities, and a range of add-on modules which exceeds the current developers' imaginations.
