  • uncertain future for infrastructure after one year,
  • orphaned by Nokia.
  • closed sourced binaries for drivers and other stuff, which effectively prevent creation of modern alternative for obsoleted devices. (this actually my main rant for some time)
What next:
  1. Find new sponsors?
  2. Find new devices?
  3. Merge with meego?
  4. Merge with ubuntu/debian/angstrom/gentoo (difficult thanks to binary blobs)?
  5. Simply die in one year?
At the moment angstrom has far lesser community, but unlike maemo, it's still active.
Your getting very close and i agree with what you have just said BUT this community has got to start being active in the right area's instead of sinking in litigation and legalities.
