Or is your concern that someone who is active, helpful and constructive here would be rejected as a moderator if they didn't have an active maemo.org account?
I am referring to this post, where Reggie described itt and maemo.org as two formerly autonomous sites AND you thanked him for the post less than two hours ago!

Is the term "sides" not consistent with "closing the gap between two formerly autonomous sites"? I honestly, truly, think that sometimes you agree with or question a statement depending entirely on who makes it.

My concern is that people who have demonstrated an interest by actively contributing to the itt forum and who would be good mods are reluctant to ask to be a moderator.

Has anyone here ever been involved in a merger? Do you not see that there is an advantage to the resulting entity having some continuing contribution from each one of the two formerly autonomous sides instead of all of the people being from one of the two previously existing entities?
