Developer Documentation?

[Andreas Lloyd]

While writing up the Contribute doc, I wanted to link to some good
references on Ubuntu development procedures, yet none seem to exist at
present. The best I could find was this
[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperResources], which is woefully outdated.

By looking around, I can see that this has been discussed at no less
than two summits
[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDownUnder/BOFs/IntroDeveloperDocs and
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperDocumentation]

and that it was decided to make a reference guide along the lines of the
Debian Developers' Reference
[http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/]. The spec [
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/developer-documentation] says
that it has been deferred to Edgy, but I have heard no mention of it.
Does anybody know more?

It would be really helpful for would-be developers to have such a
reference (I guess the packaging guide at least covers part of the
issues but it does not cover all of the relevant procedures).

Cheers,

Andreas
