I dunno what your smoking, most of the maemo dev talent has already been poached for harmattan (i.e. not meego) and now you come here to tell us were all luddite ostriches for not immediately jumping to your half-broken script-a-joke.
vi i agree with you on this one 1000% and i can see very clear where your coming from !.

Do you remember qgil who preached about Maemo and the work that would be done that never was? i am sure you do.

Your second post below this is true also .....

"The difference is Maemo users already know this, Meego crew don't seem to realise that they have already been burnt, discarded and are struggling to keep warm over the charcoaled remains of your binary blobs"

I am looking at dejavu here with lbt and qgil wow it is strikingly similar the way they are talking ....

"Please don't misunderstand.... MeeGo isn't ready for maemo.org users like you just yet. And the longer it takes for the maemo community to step up to smooth out the bumps the farther off that day will be .... "

So now it looks like we get the same story with MeeGo and for what? to be dumped yet again?.

I will not reply to lbt's post because we would end up fighting for sure but i tell you this, no way i will believe anything to do with MeeGo after they deliberatly as you said, poached most if not all the devs away from Maemo then still did not get anywhere with it !!!.

Maemo is NOT dead, what is dead is the fact nobody wants to move in any direction towards Maemo.

Maemo actually WORKS !!! more than i can say for the sad excuse for MeeGo right now.

OH dont tell me, we got to muck in and make MeeGo work .
