Saul, all,

I've peeked at poky-extras. The meta-linaor layer does not have an
identifiable maintainer (grep -ir maint . in that dir did not result
in any hits).
Do we have a policy on when/how to create a layer.
My intention is to bring over some of my OE recipes (as I would love
to be able to build my james image under poky too).

Best regards, Frans
