I am looking at reality and you claim there's no development going on, which is not true and totally baseless. There is a ton of work done to support the base system and hardware adaptations, leading to people being able to put -any- UI on top, be it Handset UI, Plasma Active, Cordia or even XBMC or a fancy video of a pink pony dancing to the sounds of the 80's. The UI is just candy on top.

And I'm asking you to simply go and educate yourself as you're looking like a fool. Check out mailing list archives, http://lists.meego.com/pipermail/mee...gust/date.html (follow meeting minutes and the logs referred in those), IRC logs: http://trac.tspre.org/merbot/freenode/%23meego-arm/ , http://lists.meego.com/pipermail/mee...gust/date.html for commits (MeeGo core)

And there is your answer to your original question.

Any mobile operating system project is like a sausage. It looks really disgusting while you make it, but in the end it tastes good. In commercial systems you don't see the 'making' part.

I'd like to say that this community is utterly screwed if it wasn't for those teams doing hard work to drag out and rebase closed source and N900 specific functionality on top of a open stack, letting you loose of the death grip of a closed stack. Kernel developers updating your kernels, contributing N900 kernel patches to upstream, etc.

And I honestly think you should be thankful that this work is being done, just to help this community. They deserve some respect.

abill_uk, I've asked you to go educate yourself now. I don't have time to educate you and please, for the love of god, go read deepily about what you are posting about.

You're destroying good work, good motivations, good value and people wanting to do things and you might do a lot better if you knew more about what you were talking about.
