Integrating these components one should be able to generate a functional image and a complete SDK.

The list packages should be presented in a sensible way e.g. organized around the components described in the new [http://maemo.org/intro Intro] and the [http://maemo.org/maemo_release_documentation/maemo4.1.x/node6.html Maemo software architecture] documentation.

==Handling and presenting data==
-
=== Third draft ===
+
About the way to process, maintain and present the data:
-
A third draft is available '''[https://garage.maemo.org/docman/view.php/106/354/maemopackages-20080725.ods HERE]'''. Now all packages have LOC counts.
+
* Probably Soumya can come up with a table generated automatically showing package names, open/closed and perhaps the License.
-
 
+
* Then we will need to link packages to architecture components. Probably a 100% manual task.
-
=== Second draft ===
+
* Then we will need to link packages to upstream projects, Nokia or 3rd party owners. Surely a 100% manual task.
-
A second draft is available '''[https://garage.maemo.org/docman/view.php/106/353/maemopackages-20080723.ods HERE]'''. It contains the same data as the first draft plus the approximate lines of code of the packages. This data wasn't initially required in this task yet now it can be used now to compare the amount of code open vs closed.
+
* With all this we will get a table sitting on top of a spreadsheet or a simple database. First decision: how to handle the data.
-
 
+
* And then we will need to publish the information, in a way that is easy to update when there are chan ges in the data. It looks like trying to export to MediaWiki would be just nuts, massochism. Then I guess we would go for a simple HTML output? Second decision: how to publish the data.
-
Some packages are still missing LOC counts:
+
* We need to agree also on the final output and presentation of data. What is expected? Mockups welcome!

=== First draft ===
+
-
A first draft is available '''[https://garage.maemo.org/docman/view.php/106/352/maemopackages-20080716.ods HERE]'''. It contains:
+
-
 
+
-
* Proposed list of packages that make Maemo. They come from the Maemo 4.1 SDK profile plus some additional packages needed to complete a bootable image. Compared to the OS2008 image, most applications and Nokia design elements are missing.
+
-
* Organization of packages in components.  
+
-
* Basic status of the license of each package:
+
-
** OSS Upstream: packages that essentially have been integrated just as they come from their upstream projects.
+
-
** OSS Modified: packages originated upstream that have been adapted by Nokia to run on Maemo.
+
-
** OSS Nokia: open source packages developed by Nokia.
+
-
** Nokia closed: closed source packages developed by Nokia.
+
-
** 3rd party: closed source packages developed by third parties.
+
-
* A graph visualizing the amount and type of packages per each component.
