The Canvas-hackers team clone on gitorious is intended to streamline collaboration among FlightGear contributors who are doing Canvas related development intended to be merged into upstream fgdata, especially related to long-term efforts to help Unifying the 2D rendering backend via canvas such as:

• Canvas EFIS Framework (2020/02): jsb
• Canvas MapStructure (2013/2014: Philosopher & Hooray)
• NavDisplay (2013/2014: Gijs, Hyde)
• Canvas GUI (2013-2015: TheTom)
• Canvas MCDU Framework (2012: TheTom)

People don't need to have fgdata commit privileges to contribute. However, you should obviously know a little about Nasal scripting, OOP and Canvas. We're hoping to regularly sync our work with fgdata upstream - realistically, that ones once in 6-8 weeks probably.
