In fact, HAM went through a phase where it was the most openly developed app - including discussion of specs and ideas on maemo-developers. But less so recently (since mvo moved off, perhaps).

Of course, lbt has a right point about co-development and discussion (when the process is in this stage) with the community.
Absolutely. I go back to my April 2008 post on the issue:

Fortunately, with Fremantle the bar has finally been raised for third party application developers, with the feel of the default UI being "mainstream" not "Gtk+ with some themeing".
