ironm8, all good ideas, but IMO, we can go there at a more advanced stage.

I would prefer to see action plan for n8x0 as well. The majority of applications are not that CPU/resource intensive.

momcilo, Hmm, you're right. We should probably include the other N8xx and N7xx devices along with this. But I have zero experience with this device and somebody else will have pipe up about it.

Dude, i really hope you're joking. TMO is the most active place on the net that I have seen where developers interact more-or-less closely with their users. Even more than XDA-dev IMO.
See some examples of great user-developer interactions here.
Even inspite of the fact that it is completely closed-source, some work toward voice guidance in OVI maps is going on here.

who is gonna admin the big cash pool ? what if ppl become unhappy with direction of dev efforts and want their money back ? who will have to do the effort to deal with the aggro that will inevitably occur ?
good luck while i eat my popcorn

Frappacino, First of all: Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Secondly, you got a better idea?

Thirdly, this is a Donation. Not a payment. Ever heard anybody asking for their donations back?
The only time I foresee such a problem occurring is when we have set up a bounty and nobody claims it even after long time. Then we can just repay it back to the donors (lists will be maintained) minus the payapal/other fees ofcourse.

Fourthly, there are many here willing to work for maemo and to deal with any and all "aggro" arising from it. If not many, at least I am.

Finally, enjoy your popcorn but remember: too much popcorn can kill you.
