I would like to see more engagement in both directions rather than the freebie mentality that Nokia cultivated. Ie, open development with external participation accepted and welcomed, open bugtrackers etc. Make me want to spend my time trying to improve the platform (and I admit that's pretty hard after all the disappointments in the last few years), and make my time spent worth it by engaging rather than ignoring.
Jolla bases on top of Mer, with their bits on top. Jolla participates and has been participating in Mer work for quite a while, though in stealth. Naturally if you do contributions to Mer (or when Jolla does), they're governed by the Mer governance/methods and discussed/reviewed in the open.

Open development is encouraged, but stay tuned for specifics.
