I think you miss my point, and I also think that you have the best intentions. My point is only related to the tablet, I know that Jolla "owes" us an explanation about the display. I already said what they would say, it's not hard to fill in the blanks there, but people want a blog post with loads of details for some reason.

The more we ask of Jolla, the longer it will take for the product to get to us. They are most likely _not_ waiting on somebody else - they're working. Micromanaging and microreporting only delay projects.
Trust me - if you report every week, people will want more; if you report every day; people will want more; if you report every second, people will want a webcam; when you have a webcam recording the Jolla offices, people will start questioning how often sailors go and get coffee.
While it isn't unreasonable to ask for that blog post that they promised, it won't change anything and it will give us very little information.

I am not experienced with building embedded hardware and software, but I can challenge you to build a tablet with your own OS, you'll see how long it takes, you'll see what the problems are along the road, and you'll have an idea of how long this can take. In short - you'll be able to fill in the blanks yourself.

Yeah, well, this goes out of topic as you aren't talking only about the tablet but of the broader subject of communication around Sailfish.
I agree that it hasn't been optimal, but it's getting better. Think about that - things take time to materialise, and as you pointed out, there are the meetings and not many people are attending. I bet not many people outside Jolla are committing code to the open source bits either (it'd be nice to have an analysis).
These last 2 points are only depressing and it leaves us with a bunch of us that complain and complain and very few of us who actually to stuff. Do you want to know what my guess is? Those few of us who actually contribute and do something may have a dev tablet already - and that's ok, I wouldn't give it to people who write blog posts if I were Jolla, I'd give it to people who can hack stuff, write code, etc..

All in all, I still think that there isn't a lack of communication problem - there may be opportunities to improve communication, and certainly different people will have different perceptions. I am ok with how the tablet delivery is being managed personally - I want the tablet, not a blog post. But that's just me, maybe some other people are with me though.

For all other issues around communication that aren't related to the tablet delivery, we should really join the sfos meetings.
