...end of April isn't too far away now - this is great news.

In terms of open source development -

Ali, you're right in that nothing is stopping developers develop what they want (at least when we have the re-flash fix) and iRex then deciding to include any development (or not) in the main branch afterwards.

One way of reading the statement could be .... the approach they are offering here is simply stating up front that they will definitely include in the main branch from the community, therefore they want to offer guidance to ensure it fits well. This could be viewed as priming the pump; this is good given the wants on this forum.

It's odd that calibration isn't already on the main branch ... but at least iRex are taking notice of the community!
