Good people are wasting, time, effort, brain cells, nerves(in general, energy that can be used to better this community) to explain basic concepts to this nincompoop.

You don't see forest gumps working for NASA, COME ON!

Actually, especialy lately, you're seeing almost nobody working for NASA anymore. I see parallels here.

I also see this... which might be relevant to his point. And MAN does it make a sad laugh to read:

Now the information is spread all over this and other threads, making things much harder. And also there could be deadlines there.

Last I checked, bugtracker was already being used to make a bunch of requests to open things up and the Maemo wiki itself already lists a bunch of the closed components as well as reasons for open-sourcing and procedures for these requests:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Open_developme...hange_requests

Just some light reading--maybe it'll help with ideas, too. Mind you, I'm sure we've already gone through this before and they were probably denied--irony, considering the reasons for open-sourcing they gave us.

Just the same, I like your idea. Can we have a page for that on Maemo.org's wiki? It would seem like the right central place for it.
