I don't think it's necessary for me to outline a bunch of topics for admins to realize that Mer needs its own section. Simply look at the messages mentioning Mer in this section to get an idea of what is being discussed. Note that many discussions cover many topics in addition to that indicated in their headers.

And, exactly what does anyone think tablet users are going to do with their current tablets in the future, run Android?

There are only two viable options, as far as I can see: Mer and Diablo. Diablo has many sections, Mer has part of one section.

It doesn't make any sense. My appeal is not so much based on numbers, but on logic.

I suspect that the only reason there is any resistence to the idea of giving Mer the section it obviously deserves is that the powers that dominate this site want to hype the N900 right now and don't want distractions.

I'm all for hyping the N900, but continuing advancement of the tablets we all own is also important. Mer is potentially wonderful; it would cost nothing to give it its own section.
