SHR is one of the many distributions that currently work on the Openmoko phones. You can compare a distribution with an Operating System on normal computers. It gives the phone all the software needed for operating. For more information about the different flavors, see distributions. Template:SHR
The Stable Hybrid Release (SHR) is intended to be a community driven distribution composed of the FSO and some basic applications, that can be configured to use several diffrent graphical toolkits, for example GTK or EFL. SHR is based on the FSO build.
At first, SHR was introduced in order to use the Openmoko2007.2 GTK software in combination with the new FSO. Things have changed. SHR is now mainly a community driven distribution, that contains some basic applications which make use of the FSO.
FSO is the initiative by Mickey Lauer and crew to create a good D-Bus infrastructure which runs on the neos, among other devices.
FSO is by far the most stable & usable release, if all you want is a phone. (I mean *all*. It just has a dialer, which is a demo application, right now.)
FSO is never intended on its own to be a full image, it's just the infrastructure and a demo app.
Other people are supposed to put a front end on FSO. So that's what we're doing.
See the Developer Info on the upper right side of the SHR project page.
The list of tasks is available at the SHR Milestone page. Some information is missing this is why the table below is still valid.

We're currently hosted by Ainulindale on svn://daria.forty-two.fr/shr . In order to contribute, you have to ask Ainulindale to get your public key on the server.
There is no need to download the code independently as it is automatically obtained when setting the development environment described in SHR Development.
Current applications (openmoko-dialer3 and openmoko-panel-gsm) use frameworkd. So in order to be able to build and test these applications, you have to build frameworkd and gsm0710muxd.
In order to be able to use in an easy way frameworkd, without bothering about dbus calls (which could be difficult for new developers), we built a library allowing everyone to use the functions of frameworkd as if it were simple C functions. We're using asynchronous callbacks for dbus. libfraemworkd-glib is heavily used by SHR applications and now hosted on http://git.freesmartphone.org/?p=libframeworkd-glib.git;a=summary.
SHR uses FSO to interface to the hardware, so see the FSO architecture documentation, too. For how the openmoko*3 applications that SHR forked off 2007.2 access FSO, see http://www.calaquendi.org/om/lf.png.
