Agreed, I like the option to be able to include only the programs that are useful to me.

That would be a good idea it would be a Quite a large download since it would be the compiled ingredients from the chefs but definitely not impossible to do I owuld like it to be like Calkulins kitchen so it would be easy for the everyday user also.

Meh, I can give you all the FTP access... I already host all of Mighty's and Y4J ROM's, so making everyone their own account wouldn't be an issue. Plus I got 4 other FTP sites I can use as well for mirrors (with permission), so hosting would be the last thing to worry about.

Things to worry about are, who's kitchen base are you going to use and what route to take. Then the infamous question what version Manila. What reg edits and rgu's? Which OEM's, what drivers? How are we going to be certian that each chef has put in as much work as the others? What sys, what xip, I mean how are all these chef's going to decide on 1 when all the ROM's here all use a different one. The concept is a nice one, but the execution is going to be the toughest IMHO.

How are you all going to know that chef A did a change that chef B doesn't know and is causing a bug? There's just too much that can go on...

If all of these issues, on the other hand, are resolved, then wow... This can be one amazing project!!!

A PPCGEEKS community project would be awesome! kinda seems like a race to crank out the best rom IMHO in CDMA. I can understand Y4J's decision, last ROM was awesome btw! I would like to get involved myself if time permits. I've been flashin' roms left and right lately. I appreciate what everyone has contributed. I've been focusing on the guts of the OS and Touch Flo 3D. I was interested in getting TF3D ver 1.x to function like Rhodium, mainly the FUNCTIONAL calendar tab. Also, learning a bit more about the driver/performance issues with the Qualcomm chips. As for now, I lost my job awhile ago so my devotion to contribution may be sporadic. Otherwise, I think the idea Merdin brought up is great! hope to see it happen

I have an ftp that I can donate to this project. Also if you guys would like my help... count me in

I did refine a kitchen based off of Calkulins tools that I personally think would be a great tool for the everyday user if this every makes it to kitchen form.

I think the first step needs to be, define exactly who is on the team for this project and then vote on the ingredients. That way one person's choices arent leading the entire project.

I like the idea. I get lost with all the roms out there, and they all seem the same (no offense) I can only imagine what a noob feels like.

I think this is exactly what is needed. This is will allow more stability and efficiency in development. This would allow bugs to be resolved quicker and more ideas to flow on how to structure the rom. As far as structure I would run two versions simultaneously one an ultra stable version with everything working and efficient speed good for everyday use and a developmental version with the latest greatest and as things get fixed in latest greatest they can be added to stable this will also decrease the number of releases for stable version. I would suggest a kitchen so that roms can be built to persons personal preferance. Out of all the roms I have tried and I have tried almost all I personaly like Mighty Mike the best in my opion he has strived to have a stable rom and has meet this goal better then anyone else its just my opion. I have been using custom roms since the apache and have seen alot of roms but the one mistake that I see is everyone tries to stuff all of these programs into a rom and it is just not needed or does it work. I undestand why they try it but it does not work for stability I think the kitchen was the best idea but it has alot of stability problems and you only get a few good roms out of it every now and then. I think we should try to enhace on the speed and stability of the OEM I mean I want to use my device I would say if you want to just flash and play with the roms buy a devel device. My ideal rom/kitchen is one that is fast stable has added functionality over OEM and just works and this could happen if we would stick with a single project as a comunity instead of having 15 or 20 going on.

And actually to chime in for real....

Just think if some of our carrier software scouting friends chimed in...some of you may have new jobs or offers...maybe even royalties. NEVER know?? Weirder things have happened...
