Overview
What is WebOS Ports?
WebOS Ports is an open source firmware distribution for smartphones and tablet computers based on the Open webOS mobile operating system.
Basically, it is the (Open) webOS "Community Edition" project. You will see some old references to WOCE for that reason.

Development
Help Develop LuneOS
Build and Install LuneOS
For an easy life, develop on Linux. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit works well.
The source code is on GitHub so you need a copy of git for a start.
Instructions for building (or just downloading) and installing an image can be reached by selecting a target device from the Devices page. Notice that there is a LuneOS VirtualBox Emulator which you can use instead of a target device.
