Forums and Jabber Multi-User Chats
See Discussion Forums. There is very little activity at the The Unofficial OpenMoko Forums, but others forums are more busy.
Discussion boards
See Discussion Boards.
Git Servers
The new official set of repositories for OpenEmbedded as well as Linux kernel, X.org and other used projects can be found at http://git.openmoko.org/, browsable via gitweb. Nowadays (2009 ->) the only active ones are qi, kernel and xf86-video-glamo.git. Everything else has moved to respective upstreams (like git.openembedded.net / OpenEmbedded).
To get write access to git.openmoko.org, see instructions on using trac to ask for access in the mailing list post http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/devel/2009-February/004563.html.
The git repositories use gitosis. If you have read & write access to the repositories, asked via the link above, see guide on how to eg. checkout at http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/devel/2009-February/004718.html. For example: git clone git+ssh://git@git.openmoko.org/kernel.
Personal repositories and branches
Some members of the community have published their copy of the openmoko repository with private or not-yet-applied changes.

If you experience any build problems and need help from other developers, it is important that you share your complete output log. To share your output log, just paste it to pastebin after submitting it, paste the resulting URL to the IRC channel.
If you aren't an IRC-er, you might want to review the discussions of #openmoko anyways:

Mailing Lists
There are several Mailing lists. Archives of these lists can be searched with Markmail. There is a Nabble web interface to read and post to the lists.
The openmoko community mailing list is perhaps the most active.
Many Debian and FSO (FreeSmartphone.Org) discussions take place on the Smartphones-userland list. There are also smartphones-kernel and pkg-fso-maint mailing lists.
If you feel uncomfortable using mailing lists, you can use gmane forum-like interface.

Openmoko Inc. Internal Resources
There are some resources which are internal. This means that they are only available for internal developers of Openmoko Inc. The reason they are internal is either because they deal with information under NDA, or about business strategy. We kindly ask for your understanding that while we really try to be as open as possible, there are some topics which we have to discuss without public participation.
The internal systems have the domain *.internal.openmoko.org.
Projects Hosting
At http://projects.openmoko.org/ we have a GForge installation. Users can use this as hosting service for their contributed applications.
Trac / Bug Reporting
Our bug ticketing and documentation system for software issues is available at http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/. This obsoleted the previously used bugzilla installation which was found at http://bugzilla.openmoko.org/. Admin team has extra trac system: http://admin-trac.openmoko.org/trac/intertrac/.
