To get back on track it seems necessary to figure out what the current state of affairs is.

It would be great if someone in the know could answer/correct/ammend the following (based on actual facts, not wishes, dreams, etc):

• What is the current state of HiFo's negotiations with Nokia? Have all the agreements been signed?
  I was under the impression that this is the case, until a recent comment here suggested otherwise.
  
• What is the state of MCeV?
  As far as I understand it has been established.
  
• Is MCeV currently owner/operator/whatever of anything (Maemo-related)?
  
• Has there been consensus (in the past) to replace HiFo with MCeV?
  I guess yes, or otherwise founding it wouldn't have made sense. But I've also seen talk of having both exist alongside each other here, hence my question.
  
• Provided the previous question is answered with 'yes', what is the state of 'negotiations' between HiFo and MCeV?
  I guess this thread is part of it.
  
• What other problems are there that prevent things from moving forward? Banks have been mentioned. What else?
