I am not a developer / programmer (maybe planned to learn some C) but what do you mean with „code freeze" ? What could be done to get some progress at this topic ?

The product is not out now but sounds interesting. When is it expected to have FreeBSD with graphics on a tablet (if ever - same question as above, what could be done) ? The graphic part is not the topic for now ... I do at the moment many XeLaTeX and Haskell / Hakyll stuff in the terminal with Vim ... the other things could be done on a second machine.
