I'm not sure the Jolla community, if there is to be one, should form around Mer. The communities that form around open consumer products look very different from what was happening on meego.com.
Agreed, but at least it's possible to properly participate on this level now. Even the stuff in base is areas that people end up touching somehow. Mer's vendor focused, yes, but honestly, there's not terribly much difference between what a commercial contributor and a passionate hobbyist is doing, in practical output.

But as I said, stay tuned for more information.
