@abill - May I ask you to write and maintain wiki page which sums up current situation and further steps and tracks the progress i.e. something like: 1. Binaries - waiting someone from the council to contact nokia 2. CSSU - waitng for stable release . . . Now the information is spread all over this and other threads, making things much harder. And also there could be deadlines there.
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: http://wiki.maemo.org/Why_the_closed...sed_components 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.
