Why not support the various ones already out there? We spend our money and time getting the news. I personally don't want to see more of my audience moving away, especially since many jumped from Symbian to Android and iPhone blogs. We're trying hard to fill the space, spending cash buying devices, and now it seems Maemo.org is intent on filling our space.

Maemo-Freak works hard to maintain its space, while also not encroaching on the space Maemo.org occupies. Why not help us do our jobs better, and let us continue doing the news, and let Maemo.org do the developer/advanced user thingamabob...

I'm pretty mixed about this, to be honest. I want it in a way, but aren't we already providing it at other sources? I say kill the RSS aggregator, and have a news management team that chooses the best stories for the weekly review, and let Maemo.org (Hard to not say "The .Org."..) forward information to the blog community for us to publish and promote.

I've never thought about this, and probably need to sleep and think about it more first.
Love your iDont video on the home page. I'm going to link to that. Its great...
