Start out with hardware we have (N900) and be able to move on to other devices over time by adding more hardware adaptations.
For the sake of this community and to save Maemo.org as it is right now you will need to keep people interested to keep the numbers up.

I am all for your suggestions and qwazix also as this seems to be the most practical way as IcyMoustache also reiterated BUT to keep the numbers as high as possible and for software development to have the interest it needs, there has to be hardware related discussions as well.

This community has florished with Nokia devices and will it stay Nokia as far as hardware is concerned ? and now we have the possibility of adding other devices.

Bring in devices like LG or whatever manufacturer will go with MeeGo will bring a new lease of life here.

Also remember Maemo is not dead yet and neither is the N900 by a long shot (i can keep my main 900 alive for years to come) and the N9 being already MeeGo based, now add more devices from other manufacturers, this community is going to widen it's approach all round and bring in new interest globally.

I can see this working .
