I agree with the adventurous part, even though that label is sometimes applied to everyone who touches a flasher at some point.

I'd like to know - what's your criteria (or anyone's) for daily use OS? (And don't say feature parity, because Fremantle goes up and beyond daily usage). I find it valuable to acquire requirements from stakeholders.

We tried to define basic daily usage features for the community edition work and I'd like to know how aligned that is with your wishes.

Cellular voice calls (Dialer, People)

Make voice calls (input number directly, initiate from Contacts, initiate from Call history)
Receive calls
Default ringtone plays
Volume control works via System UI
SIM PIN entry support

SMS (SMS, People)

Send new SMS (input number, send from Contacts)
Receive SMS, and reply to sender

Browser use over WLAN (Browser, Settings)

Able to connect to WLAN AP (with security etc.)
Open a complex modern website (eg. gmail.com)

Camera (meegocamera)

Still image capture
Support for N900 keys (zoom, capture)
Common SW (Settings, xterm, lock)

Common components such as System UI, Home screen etc. shall be made functional so that basic device usage is smooth and fast. N900 device specific features such as keys, display and battery will be optimized. MeeGo SDK fully supports this edition, as it is MeeGo 1.2 compliant.
