Employees of Maemo SW and Nokia are members of the Maemo Community just like the rest us.

Um, well, there's something about it in the election page on the wiki, but no, I don't think anybody's done an in-depth analysis of this or anything.

No more than any other community member might "direct" maemo.org. Of course, the "maemo.org four" have a lot of influence in the direction of maemo.org, but they're employees of maemo.org, and not really employees of Nokia (although Nokia is paying their salaries).

Sure, as long as they make it apparent that they're affiliated with Nokia (this applies to contractors like Igalia and OpenHanded, too).

Well, Quim is a moderator now and the recent forum reorganization was largely his idea. So, yes, but it's not anything underhanded or subversive (which is where it seems these questions are headed).
