1. CSSU - For people who want to see Maemo 5 getting fixes, etc
2. MeeGo N9x0 Community Edition - For people who want to move on
3. Cordia - For people between the first two.

And on top of those are the application developers, hackers, users, etc.

I don't see a point in deciding one direction for the whole community (which by the definition in the intro page is a developer community [1]). Open source and coding in one's free time is almost always about scratching your own itch so I'd say just contribute/support the effort that suites your needs.

You are right. Let us hope that we don't end up in a situation like the Freerunner situation, ie, thousands of distros but each not complete and working for proper usage.

Three paths are sane, especially when two share hardware adaptation and base system.

Let the results be what will eventually show what was the right path.

I cant help but feel that we need to think way beyond the current user experiences though, ie, not Cordia, not CE, not CSSU.

Try to see this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Cf7IL_eZ38 (not rickrolling)


Your thoughts on such an approach for maemo.org?
