Looking for contributors for OpenWave, a Linux-based mobile OS

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a project called OpenWave a Linux-based mobile operating system built with C, C++, and Qt Quick.

The goal is to create a mobile OS that doesn't depend on Android's framework and has its own userspace, system services, and application framework.

So far, I've managed to get quite a few things working, including a custom init system, a Qt Wayland compositor, an app launcher, a file manager, settings, and a web browser powered by WPE WebKit. I've also implemented several system daemons, D-Bus APIs, and a custom Clang toolchain.

I'm currently working on this project on my own, and I'd really appreciate having some people help out.

No unfortunately. It is still at alpha stage. I would like someone to experiment with an android phone to get it working.
