Thanks for the additional response @Stskeeps. I understand a bit better why it might be worth pursuing.

Re: N900 community support for the MeeGo-Harmattan release from Nokia
 

I have edited the first post adding the request to stay on topic and constructive mood in this thread. We have insisted a few times but obviously newcomers are not finding them inside within the many posts.

I hope it helps to make this thread more productive. Thank you!

The disclaimer:

Please don't bug the people working here with questions/complaints about Maemo 5, open/closed software, official updates or MeeGo. There are plenty of threads for this just a click away.

The project discussed here is about getting the API, UX and apps of the first MeeGo device from Nokia (aka "MeeGo-Harmattan", provisional name) running in the N900. For insiders, this basically means making Harmattan run in the N900. The Harmattan content is not public yet and nobody really knows how good the releases of this initiative will be. Follow the MeeGo hardware adaptation for N900 thread to have an idea of the worst case scenario to be expected.

How can you help? Please be constructive. Be ready to test and provide feedback. And be patient: this project can't dliver faster than the MeeGo & Harmattan projects themselves.

Thank you!

I am very much looking forward to the first release of Harmattan code (meaning, the SDK), and really appreciate the lengths maemo.org and Nokia team members have gone to in order to fill in the vacuum of communication that is caused by various policies and legal issues, while not revealing information they are not authorized to release.

For those who are not able to read between the lines, and are only interested in a user perspective, you really only care about what you can use. Things like "official support" don't mean what you might think it means, when all you want to know is if you'll get the Harmattan versions of Ovi Maps and Flash on your sexy N900. I understand these coveting these gems of the closed-source variety consume your thoughts and dreams, but understand that employees can get fired if they release information they have not been authorized to provide.

In the case of these nuggets of proprietary software it really comes down to two categories. Nokia's own applications, and the applications of other companies that have a licensing agreement with Nokia for Harmattan. For the first category, we've got multiple statements in this thread that confirm Nokia will allow it. For the second category, and this is the important bit, it's not even Nokia's call but they are asking those other companies to allow it for this purpose as well. Someone at Nokia is literally going up to bat for getting all these things users want available in the project this whole thread is about.

Honestly, this should be the most popular thread on t.m.o

This is why you should have been singing hallelujah when reading this thread instead of spreading more FUD about N900 being left behind.

Just lie to me and say MfE will be fixed with Harmattan, then I am all ready to start testing and assisting. :)

On a more serious note, I would love to assist in any way possible, not a developer though.
My decision to buy this phone was based on the community support and possibilities of community projects.

Yes you're off topic, the discussion here is about getting the API, UX and apps of the first MeeGo device from Nokia running in the N900.
