Coders? Isn't all that it takes is to load holoiso into a flash drive and install it on the ally?

I bet some of the things in the Ally need new drivers that aren't in the Kernel yet.

Yup, as a software dev myself, I doubt anyone is really putting any development effort into it. Maybe a little config to map the controller properly or something, but it's close enough hardware-wise that there really shouldn't be much work involved.
