What silence are you getting from Maemo? The fact that you are not hearing what you want to hear doesn't mean that there is silence.

Let's link again to http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Maemo_roadmap/Fremantle . Last edit, two days ago.

The list of enhancement requests and bugs fixed also grows there every week. Search for "FiF" at http://www.octofish.net/bugjar/ and you will see reports FIXED in Fremantle just last week.

And finally, let's list again to http://www.nokia.com/imaginemaemo . 28 positions open for you to apply right now, 3 of them posted 2 days ago.

These URLs + the Fremantle SDK releases are relatively simple to track and they tell a lot for those willing to hear: Maemo developers and the Maemo community, our main target for all this communication.

If then the blogosphere feels more excited about vague rumors and even cheap home made cut & paste mockups...

That's fine and even somewhat understandable. But I don't think anybody can blame us for being silent. And I wonder about the substance of any Maemo discontinuity panic based on all the tangible information coming from reliable sources.
