If you wish to contribute to SF Location Package but not sure about how, please go through Roadmap for Location
If you have potential ideas, you can discuss them here.
If you wish to contribute to defects, please have a look current defects here
In general, we found out potential opportunities [though not restricted] you may like to contribute:
WLAN and Cell ID adaptation modules (Effective positioning)
We are very keen to discuss contributions concerning new positioning technologies based on improving device capabilities to obtain a fast fix in urban and indoor environments which complement A-GPS.
Satellite ephemeris projection services (Effective positioning)
Services that extend the "life" of satellite orbit data to more accurately determine positioning without requiring the device GPS hardware to re-establish a new positional fix can be beneficial in enriching many types of mobile applications. A standard protocol module would exist to specifically support extended ephemeris data supplied by the chipset.
New GNSS assistance data classes (Effective positioning)
The SUPL v2 specification allows up to 6 different classes of GNSS to be supported. Galileo, GLONASS are planned to be supported plus other constellations are potentially available so contributions are welcome which enable any class of GNSS to be supported.
API libraries available for preferred runtime environments (Vibrant developer community)
The present roadmap features a number of interesting APIs which are available to application developers as native enablers. These enablers can also be available to many other application developers if bindings can be defined for different runtime environments. Contributions are required to define these bindings to support application developers who are unfamiliar with Symbian's native programming environment.
Map and navigation framework (Mapping provider services)
The existing Map and Navigation API is available for any mapping content provider to contribute an adapter module to more easily allow service providers to access 3rd party content which supports mapping applications. There is an opportunity to contribute extensions to the framework to enable any content provider to more easily make its services available to application developers.
Location updater defined for 3rd party applications and location service platforms "(Vibrant developer community)"
The Symbian platform is capable of updating 3rd party applications with occasional positional data without requiring any action from the user. This enabler can improve the performance of applications that need to be "location aware" and we are interested to define different use cases that use this feature.
