Equating noise in a thread with developers stopping efforts on other projects is a very dangerous and short-sighted thing...

You may not follow developments here; that's your personal prerogative but there are many people unlike (pun intended) you who follow even fervently and appreciate all development efforts around here...

What's the guarantee you won't get noise in whichever forum Sailfish eventually sets-up shop in? If you think so you may be deluded as if Jolla manage to sell the phone well you are going to get even worst noise; I've been reading some blog articles that Jolla re-tweets and seriously NONE of them are better than even that noisy Wazapp thread in terms of real value! Oh another example for you; take all the Sailfish/Jolla threads started around here; the noise is any lesser?

Even your posts in Harmattan app threads asking for developers to port to Sailfish could be considered as noise considering the official Sailfish SDK isn't out, this is NOT their forum, they have 0 products till-date, their device doesn't launch till summer '13, they have not even announced how their device looks like, they haven't decided on what they want to keep open and the extent to openness etc
