That was not my intention and I apologize. What I meant is that your question has been already answered and most probably, the answer can be found in the wiki page. As for the improvement you are most welcome to help. You can either tell me was exactly is your question (if you feel it has not been answered properly) so I can add it to the wiki or you can do it yourself.

And the misconsceptions of software development seems to be balancing on the other side now. I know exactly how much more expensive, delaying, it is to work towards a moved goal. I am a system developer. This is how I make my living. If I get tasks related to a new framework, it means less tasks for the existing one will be completed on time. That is how prioritizing works. On the other hand, increased resources for MeeGo means from an statistical point of view that MeeGo will be "better" than Maemo. If more developing hours from a bigger team garantees "better".

So for the long run, it is clearly better for the platform(s), and Nokia. But someone in the community need to port Qt to OS2008. :B

How would you improve my previous post if you feel it is one sided ? When I edit the wiki, I am trying to keep a neutrel point of view. Maybe I have overlooked this point and I am ready to improve it.

There has been a discussion about the number of people working on Maemo and people working on MeeGo, the later "draining" resources away from the former. There is a post by Qgil covering this, unfortunately I can't find it now (help ?). If I remember correctly, his answer was along the line of :

- More people doesn't mean better nor faster.
- Yes the priority is MeeGo now.
- Nokia is big and can afford to support the two projects.

As for MeeGo being better, well who knows, have you seen it ? From what I understand it has good chance to be better because normaly that is how life is going; things improve by learning from past mistakes (devs have more experience if you prefere).

I hope it helps.

Actually, it might be another case of mistaken identity. I think I referred to this post by tomasj. I don't know if he works for Nokia or not.

And the wiki still has a little way to go before its completely able to alleviate all fears, but is a much welcome steps towards it. :)

Thanks for the feedback and for clearing tomasj identity. Do you have any suggestions to improve the wiki ? Perhaps some some open questions I have overlooked ?

Don't have any suggestions to improve it further. As even though most of the questions seem to be there I think the wiki is still bound by the answers(official) we have at hand right now.

But even as of now its a great pacifier with all the relevant information in one place and I'm sure the rest of the missing pieces will come with time :)

Actually I'm waiting for this one thing to clear and go in the wiki cause this would be a huge help.

Re: Cleaning N900 FUD

i didn't mean to say you were using the faq that way, just to say that it can be. i have seen some similar faq used like that other places. it's still good to have the faq, i appreciate the work.

as to my previous post, i don't really think it contains any questions, frequently asked or otherways :g

so no changes to the faq there. ending my comments in this thread now. ;)

Wow ! I guess a little publicity for the wiki page won't hurt.

That's my job. ;)

EDIT: hey Mandor, a suggestion-- include links to your projects, like the wiki page, in your signature here for broad exposure.

Re: Cleaning N900 FUD

fwiw 28 bugs fixed for the official platform and applications last week: http://www.octofish.net/bugjar/
