You're right, I don't speak for anyone but myself. Regardless of that, I don't see anything contradictory in those statements, the first one I said that end-user readiness wasn't an explicit goal, our goals are clear, basic functionality that makes the MeeGo N900 Community Edition day-to-day usable for developers and power users.

As the project increased in momentum, what was originally a hardware adaptation project and a few enthusiastic users that tweaked the higher layers, gained resources from Nokia and we had this Developer Edition project. That project injected a lot of energy and progress into MeeGo on the N900. And today, it is day-to-day usable in-my-opinion. But I don't think it's user ready, and there are clearly issues, issues that are being actively worked on.

My second statement was just; sure, I'd love to see MeeGo on the N900 end-user ready, mainly because I think our efforts with MeeGo "N900" Community Edition will last a lot longer than the N900s life. Now, what's the point? How many end-users are actually going to be interested in upgrading to a capable MeeGo? But the next devices will have a huge headstart with what we've started with on the N900.

This project, doesn't have a life expectancy, the Community Edition, hopefully, will be around for a long time, a lot longer than the N900, and hopefully a lot longer than the Harmattan device after that. And like all projects you'd hope the goals are to make it better. So, end-user ready is really just a matter of when, but what matters here is, when is it acceptable from the N900s perspective. If it takes another year? Is that acceptable to the users here. And we can't progress completely without valuable feed back from users, obviously we want to start with the more experienced users. Mainly because we don't what the type of people that'll try to boot it, and fail, or if they succeed be like "This is bull ****, why do you bother and why is it so crap after _all_ of this time" like some people tend to do.
