Q: What is a kernel?
A: The kernel works with the hardware and the OS/applications to manage system resources. It helps manage memory, processes, and system devices. It deals more closely with the hardware than the OS/applications and acts a bridge between the two.
Q: Great, so..... kernel source?
A: Before HTC released it's kernel source, developers did not have the "inside info" on the kernel, which makes developing with the kernel much more difficult. The kernel source is a "decrypted" version that allows developers to modify it and improve it.
Q: So the Devs are happy, what about me?
A: The developers now have the tools to build fully-working AOSP. AOSP is Android in it's purest form, as if straight from Google. AOSP ROMs have significantly more better battery life, and more features for the user. Remember; happy developers leads to a happy you!
The most prominent bugs in AOSP are the network lag caused by a network monitoring tool when using data, the screen flickering issue, and the total loss of Bluetooth. Hopefully these bugs will be fixed soon so we can enjoy AOSP goodness!
So, keep and eye out on the Developer section to see what exciting things our developers can do in the coming months!

Now that we have kernel, if we could be some devs, the dev section would explode.

Now that the kernel source for the Rezound has been released, developers can fix bugs found in AOSP and Cyanogen Mod 9. So far the outlying issues are Bluetooth and the mysterious lagging issue which seems to be caused my network monitoring.

Don't forget the screen flicker issue...that's the number one barrier for me.

This is pretty amusing, especially because I have been sending threatening emails to HTC about violations of the GPL and my intending to file a formal complaint (and I'm certainly not alone, and there have been online petitions so I'm not even remotely suggesting that I had anything to do with it), and I keep getting responses like "we typically release source code 90 to 120 days after an OTA" over and over again to which I repeatedly respond "that's not good enough; 90 to 120 days is still a violation of the GPL".
Ultimately, this turns out to be less than 30 days after ICS dropped. That *is* good news. Maybe HTC is starting to see that Samsung is eating their lunch.
