Currently, for contributions to Maemo Diablo, We can only expose bugs by bugs.maemo.org, right?

garage.maemo.org serves only forge software for third-party Free software, right?

We must wait for the next Maemo to know what will be inside without being able to help, right?

There is no complete technical documentation on the internal workings of the free software Maemo for developer, right?


Maemo develops very differently from other distribution of GNU or Busybox based on Linux kernel.

Really differently from Ubuntu, Fedora or Debian. Too ...

Finally, this is what I saw. Have I bad saw?

And I am not alone in thinking this way:

Could we not, with the help of Nokia, improve this?

For exemple:
- Use garage.maemoe.org for all Free software projects of Maemo, Maemo including.
- Include Maemo Fremantle (and future versions) and all its Free components since projects in garages.maemo.org.
-Use garages.maemo.org for contributions to the Maemo OS project.
- That the community can develop the next verions of Maemo with Nokia.
- Uses elements of Launchpad or Launchpad in entire. (To simplify the translation, bug reports and reassembled the bugs and corrections to original projects.)- Have got a complete technical documentation on the internal workings of the free software Maemo for developer.
- Etc...

In short, that Maemo develops as develops Ubuntu or Debian.
My question to you is how do you develop the entire OS entirely in the open (think Harmattan right now) without showing your competitiors exactly what you're doing?

When you can answer that, maybe then Nokia will develop everything in the open.
