And another post from javispedro? Doesn't give up does he? I have to say, I kind of like the ignore feature. Should have started using it ages ago.

Just a couple of other bits if info I found, that unlike the Intel news has not been highly discussed... Looks like Nokia is confirming a bit that my speculation on where MeeGo (& MeeGoCE in particular) is headed was right. From the last Maemo Community Meeting:
SD69_: I hope this isn't too blunt, but does Nokia care much what happens with maemo.org community?
mairas SD69_, sure, we're funding maemo.org a lot longer than the internal meego team!
Sounds like the MeeGo CE team is not going to be around much longer... Sad in a way, but not a surprise. Guess those blobs won't see much in the way of updates after all.

Also, it looks like MeeGo in general is seeing less activity these days, via another report about paid developers going away (due to priority shifts by corps funding it, one would assume). In particular the stats on the MeeGo-dev list and the MeeGo-commits list are painful. The spike in the commits, followed by relatively low traffic would indicate to me a last-effort dump before a stabilization period, or a spin-down. This could be the 1.3 release? But previous releases didn't see this pattern, so I'm not sure it makes sense in that context.
