This place has not been nor it will be some developing organization that governs app developing or maemo CSSU developing. If people choose to leave this place then they leave. Currently 1 million downloads per week tells of course totally different story. I would like to see page loads for different areas also. Any historical graphs that some geek can search for us?

Itīs good to have plans. But by being drama queen (Sorry but to me your text is just too aggressive) doesnīt get anything done nor has any positive effect on anyone so calm down couple of notches.

ps.
I have had constant stream of patches, tweaks, fixes and apps to my system :| On the other hand I use devel.repo and read constantly TMO/MWKN/Twitter/Maemo-news to cherry pick all the good stuff. Itīs bit of work but pays back.
Your forgetting that this is a PUBLIC community and will not be anything as popular if you had your way because the people on here are dealing with real devices that have problems one way or another so you need to look at the kind of talk conducted on here and you will soon realise people are far more "dramatic" than i can ever be.

If your dealing with the general public then you need to keep the interest going and i do not see software development without a specific aim at a specific device being very popular at all, rather it would turn into a specialised dev's community with no specific aim at all.

"This place has not been nor it will be some developing organization that governs app developing or maemo CSSU developing."

Do you realise what your saying here?, if it was not for the N900 and Maemo this community would not have the name it has and non of the above would have happened in any way or form so you kind of reversed everything there as it IS a community that governs apps etc etc.
