[Finney, Joe]

Ah, ok. Looks like you're on the github view. Will get a github invite out to Mark in a mo.

Hi Joe,

In the yotta.json file the following (GitHub???) repos are referenced:

"dependencies":{
    "mbed-classic": "~0.0.4",
    "ble": "lancaster-university/BLE_API#master",
    "ble-nrf51822": "lancaster-university/nRF51822#master",
    "microbit-dal":"lancaster-university/microbit-dal#master"
  },

Does this answer your question?

Basically, we're asking for access to the repos that will allow people to build MicroPython (on of which is the microbit-dal we're building our "microbit" module on top of).

Regards,

N.
