Thanks for starting this thread! There are basically 3 things that we
really need help with (off the top of my head):
1. Democratizing ARM support. Right now we have a relatively small set
of supported targets in the ocean of ARM devices. The raspberry pi is
one example where non-core contributors are making this unsupported
platform viable, if only in remix format. The chromebook is the next
stellar example. And the allwinner-a10 devices. We need to make the
Fedora ARM tent bigger, if it means remixes due to upstream issues. As
kernels are unified and drivers are sent upstream the effort that goes
into these remixes can then be made mainstream in Fedora.
2. New architecture bootstrap support. We'll be in a position where
many hands make light work in aarch64 soon. Likewise, Seneca is
proceeding with armv6hl, perhaps they could use a hand?
3. Anything that advances ARM's promotion to Primary Architecture
status. As a reminder, the FESCo guidance for this is at:
https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Secondary_Architecture_Promotion_Requirements
Item #10 is is great need of attention: We really need to merge as much
as possible with the main Fedora wiki pages.
