But I dunno where to post or write or speak or something else. Maybe we can combine our thoughts (your's up to date and my which I can make) and make some oficcial document, that will be really helpful for Maemo UI team. Well, something like that.

And of course anone else can participate, but with real deal and project/design or anything else, that can be viewed.

Dude! they're not my essays! (seriously, I cannot hope to ever thread in Sean Luke's footsteps)

And I (and probably Sean Luke as well) have pointed Nokia's attention to these documents. Their only reaction sofar has been to do exactly the opposite of Sean's propositions. And while not very hopeful, at least it's quite clear where Nokia stands in regards to intelligent UI design (it's largely a whole-heartedly "F**k you, user!").

For the Itablets to ever become successful pocketable computers, I believe Penguinbait's method is the way to go: Ditch as much of the fugly Hildon as you can and dare, and open the suckers up.
