Just to further amplify the MOQ (Maemo Omnipotence Quotient), it's also helped expand my vocabulary by exactly 1 word:

But I have to agree: the responsiveness of the community is a definite plus point for maemo. One of my reasons for purchasing n900 (assuming it arrives before the parousia) was the community. :)

Nah, the one was my request; you just happened to be one of the lively hearts to have jumpstarted it anew.

Kathy kicks of a thread about N900 for girls and POOF you have mirror app for Maemo 5

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...ghlight=mirror

and look at all the cool stuff that is being worked on in Maemo Development from Hermes to liqbase all while there are only 300 devices out there. Just think what it will be like in 6 months time

Wow! A chess game, a Bible reader, and a mirror app! Such high standards. /gadfly

I'll also add to this thread.

I asked about Eboard and BAM! a new compiled version was made by Bruce Forsberg within two days and he's even open for suggestions to improve it!

Good people indeed! :)

What I like best is things like when maemo mapper 2.6 didn't work with my N800/OS2007 setup then it was just a matter of dumping the source to disk, adjust the code, build and install and I had a working maemo mapper again, before my trip to unmapped lands. I couldn't do this that easily with any other mobile device I've owned.

In other words: The community is good, and the open aspect of Maemo is good, and I believe the former is made possible by the latter.

You left out Maemo Greeters (note signatures in this thread)!

I'm curious about something - do those of you raving about the fantastic Maemo community and the advantages of having an open system run a community supported open OS on your full size computers?
