Ditto. I have no issues with donating time nor money with projects that I have continuously used that delivers features and bugfixes that benefit me.

The problem I'm seriously having - I will stand by my initial post of that I'd donate - is what will be maintained. The bits that are closed affect either only the N900 or largely make it harder to port elsewhere.

If that were not the case, we'd see more Maemo on other devices.

I'd love to see Maemo 5/Harmattan on say... a Nook Color. That project that placed MeeGo on a Nook Color seems to have stalled. I'd love to see less dependence on the Nokia N900 and have Maemo 5 on another device.

And I'd love to see better communication from the people over the maintenance - the people I'd be donating to - than as it stands exists from the existing committee (that gets their information from Nokia, then relays it to us).

That last part isn't to be politically scrutinized, it is just that when people donate, people have expectations. And when you donate to something like NeoOffice/J, well let's just say when OS X Lion came out, they had a fix in record time. Not even Adobe can say that about their $3000 USD or so Adobe Creative Suite 5 (CS5).
