I\'d like to estimate, but frankly... I have no idea.
Since most of my begging for help in 2003 didn\'t have any effect, it took kergoth and me half a year to migrate all of OZ buildroot to OpenEmbedded.
Could take us the same time to do the device integration and testing phase, which now started. Could also be just a few weeks if we get help from more people. Hrw joined and is doing good work for collie, but we still need many more hands -- especially for maintaining packages. We now have over 700 packages in OpenEmbedded and less than 4 maintainers.
I\'m not sure how many packages one man or woman can handle, but once we release the first distribution built out of OpenEmbedded, I will definitly hand over the maintainer job for everything except a few packages which I feel committed to (Probably the 15 Python packages) to other people.
