What's working?
LinuxMCE is very modular, and all the modules are isolated. So, even if one module is still unstable, it will not break the other modules. The main router and DCE libraries, which everything relies on, are already stable. Here is a breakdown of what works and what doesn't.
The numbers correspond to the following table:
0: have not started on it
1: development underway, but it's not useable yet
2: development underway, it might be somewhat useable
3: developer finished, but in-house testing hasn't confirmed it yet
4: in-house testers have confirmed it works, waiting for users' feedback
5: stable, it's in use and no known problems
Note: We are presently only providing modules from the development repository. They are compiled with debug info and very verbose logging, so they are quit large and much slower than the release version will be.
General
5 DCE Router
5 DCE Library We will be doing a rewrite in the near future of the low-level socket classes to reduce the number of sockets and threads
5 DCE Gen Automatically creates C++ projects for new DCE Devices
5 OrbiterGen
We will be changing to a different graphics engine that supports
scaling with anti-aliasing for better appearance in the near future
5 Designer
It is stable and usable for creating new user interfaces and skins,
however it only runs Windows (C# code) and is not very user-friendly. A
new version is planned
5 sql2cpp
5 sqlCVS
5 Orbiter Windows
5 Orbiter Windows CE
5 Orbiter Linux
5 Orbiter Symbian S60v2 with Bluetooth

If you will be using your own hardware, please read index.php?section=document&docID=213
5 Kick Start CD
5 Network Boot Media Directors
5 LinuxMCE Admin Website
This site, used to configure the system, is stable, although we are constantly adding more pages and options as we add more modules and
features
4 Boot & Configure Scripts The scripts which start the LinuxMCE modules and handle auto-configuration of Linux are stable, however, we will be committing changes to improve performance (boot times) and error handling (checking for disk full conditions, etc.)
