I appreciate stezz reaching out here, but imo there's been a misconception about what people here expected or would like from Jolla. It's not that everyone expects the same work output from Jolla as from Nokia or that all the infrastructure is up and running immediately; I think it's more a case of feeling left out and a bit ignored when you're the biggest and most hardcore (potential) customer you could find.

There also seems to have developed a miscommunication that you would invest heavily in community interaction and open source development while the reality has been buzz words and twitter as the favorite means of "interacting".

Don't get me wrong, I'd be the last to demand anything. I'm just a bit confused. You have this great potential source of free labor in terms of bug hunting, patches, wiki/documentation help and introducing new users and not much is done to harness that. You probably have an internal bug tracker so why not just open it to the public and get some people from the forums to help moderate the noise. It seems to me a lot of potential is wasted in an effort not to "mingle" with anything that had its beginnings affected by old Nokia (maemo.org).

And finally I think a separate Jolla forum isn't going to create the same "hardcore" community as exists here. It would be better to point people to this place and cooperate in moderating in the relevant sub forums.

But thanks again for posting your thoughts and best of luck onwards, it must be quite a hectic phase for you all
