MeeGo taping into the "computer" side of (NON-)OSS etc. could benefit from that.
but that still wouldn't help us with OMAP now, would it?

as to the potential future...
i wonder in how far being more professional is what Intel is trying to achieve on MeeGo.com?
and (maybe?) the Linux Foundation providing a more professional site adminitration



copy that, alas
Your points are indeed very valid and actually very simple to understand and whilst others do not conduct business in the same way as Nokia i feel a lot will be learned from Maemo, the way it was put together and the way it was presented to the field of development.

As you can see my posts on this thread are written in a different context simply because, and i have to say this, i am not dealing with idiots as the majority of threads on this forum seem to be abundunt with.

EDIT "but that still wouldn't help us with OMAP now, would it?"
What should have happened that clearly did not was the intergration between Intel - Nokia and public development thus the reason it all fell apart.

You know the old saying, when in rome etc.
