Chronos: (open) where to start?

Hi,

 

I've got the new chronos for my birthday, nice present  :smile:

 

Now I would like to start hacking it by compiling a custom firmware, I use gcc and Linux and proprietary software is  not an option for me.

 

I've downloaded and successfully compiled openchronos and openchronos-ng but I'm completely confused about which of the two is the most up-to-date and the preferred starting point.

 

Apparently, the ng fork is more recent, but somewhere in Google group I've read that it has just a fraction of the features that are in (original) openchronos, it doesn't seem to me: make config shows more options in the ng branch.

On the other end, openchronos-ng doesn't compile out of the box if you don't disable accelerometer  because that module is not yet ported.

 

To make things even more complicated, there are a dozen or more forks here and there (github, gitorius, sf etc.) and it's difficult to understand where to start.

 

Is there anybody out there willing to coordinate efforts a little bit?  It seems to me a complete waste of programming resources if everybody forks and there is not a well defined master repository.

 

Any hint?
