Correct me if I'm wrong, but Original Development would be a section where coders who write android programs/Roms/Kernel from scratch/AOSP, opposed to writing hacks/modifications/unofficial nightlies for pre-existing software originally written by someone else.

Petty much.

Although in "original" the meaning is that the larger percentage of it is your work. If you take kernel source (with permission and credits etc) and add a couple of functions to it, then that is not original. But if you take it and add substantial functions such as dual boot, works on Stock/AOSP and then some - perhaps you can argue it is different enough from the original to be original again

And I found it at the end of the document xD. Thanks to all for answering.

In other forums like Gnexus, galaxy S or Htc magic, there wasn't two sepparate development sections I think.
