I think quim adressed some of this before. And in essence said Do you expect Nokia to spend millions of dollars and then give you as mere communty members something like a detailed roadmap....because they have competitors and such...

However, I dont expect this. Nokia is a for profit corporation and acts only in the best interest of its shareholders...and if their interest line up with worthy causes, then all the better..

But I think these questions are worth asking...(even though we know the answer, because it stimulates conversation and hopefully understanding what this open community is about at its core)...

Are code check-ins publically accessible (and on a realtime basis) ?
- Is the product roadmap publically available (and how far does it stretch) ?
- Are any of the above accessible to members only ? Are there any fees or contractual commitments (NDAs, etc) required for members?
- Who has access to check-in code (and what is the process for check-ins) ?
- What is the arbitration process in case there is a conflict between two contributions to the source code ?
- Who has the authority to release code and binaries (and how is the release schedule determined)?
- Who gets to decide if a contributed component is optional or mandatory (downstream influence)?
- How is the roadmap formed ? What is the process and who has voting rights ?
- Are IP rights (patents, copyrights, etc) of contributions maintained or automatically transferred?
- Are there any support implications for parties who contribute source code ?
- Are there any safe harbour provisions for contributors to the source code ?
