a) what role does the community play in the whole maemo-thing? what are nokias expectations? does the maemo community live up to these expectations or are there still things that must be done internally (or don't happen at all) because the community fails to deliver?

b) how much community input could nokia handle concerning hardware? could they envision that some day a future product is designed via a bugzilla-system, with people voting for enhancement requests about hardware (spell: d-pad)? could there be something like a community edition of existing mass market products that has basically the same hardware internally, but differs in things like screen size or keyboard layout etc. according to the wishes of a reasonably large part of the community?

c) on the business side: is handling community input (or better: dealing with the community in general) more expensive/difficult than handling uncoordinated customer feedback?
