Aye up chaps!
First of all, glad to see the thread is alive.
One thing I noticed in a couple of posts was that people said "oh, let's write this down and suggest it to Nokia". If I get to say anything about this, it is: never mind Nokia. The community (we as in whoever is interested) can do it. If it becomes something good Nokia will notice it. Who'd want to wait for Nokia to notice a draft anyway (even if the draft is full of facts).
TBHWY, we could start anytime now. Another user (sorry, can't quote names) said something along these lines: follow PB approach an open the sucker. We, I'm all for this.
Inside these beasts there is a Linux distro. They are fully customisable, aren't they? Can we ditch Hildon et al? Most certainly. There are millions of lightweight window managers, etc. out there that are free (as in speech) same for eye candy and all. It should be doable. What we programmers really need then is just someone with a decent sense of UI interaction and a good artist.
Cheers chaps,
U
