Which one? I lost context, it seems.

Anyway i'm still in love with the little "click" when I open or close the Keyboard and i'm using it daily, trying to find alternative apps like modrana, Yappari fettuccine, linguine and so on!!!
Add to this that Neo900, even if it ever gets released (which I doubt, again), expects to have own infra, own communication channel, own organization... You know, to ensure that users get in touch only with "appropriate" content

Considering, how "awesome" history of moderating IRC or even the own Neo900 section of TMO the Neo900 "leader" have, you may expect that it won't have anything to do with free speech or FOSS ideals. Just a sandbox/kindergarten of one frustrated guy.

Side effect of this separation - Free'ness/Openess aside, it means that it will have MUCH less in common with Maemo or Maemo community, than previously promised. Also, considering how much "love" is in the air between Maemo's leadership and Neo900's dictatorship, you may skip any hopes for official cooperation, too (and rightly so - anyone wanting to do anything official with joerg would need to be not entirely OK in his head).
