Anyway to list the suggestions:

* Single site log-in
* Tame Bugzilla or get him a little less-fierce brother
* Work out how you want brainstorm to function - and till then don't tell people off for doing it wrong: we don't know what right is.
* Make good feedback from testing easy to provide - make the 'where' of feedback easy to find.
* Make the wiki much more visible from the talk page
* Make Power search the default option
* Improve the search in wiki
Most of the people doing this work are volunteering. That's how it is in a .org. Many of us work full time jobs and have families. We're really doing the best we can. I understand that "in process" is a tasteless answer, especially to newcomers, but it sure beats "WONTFIX".

And one extra: make a general n900 forum that's not about hardware or fremantle and let the people who want to rant do it there.
I agree. I'd call it "Complaints" or some such and let it be the bucket for rants. No problem with that concept.

I have loved being here. I was made incredibly welcome when I arrived. I have received endless help, advice, patience as well as warmth and friendship. So why do I feel so awkward here now?
Because you grew into a leader, and ran into the same walls that we ancient relics frequently do. Welcome to your first maemo.org wall. It will not be the last. May it not defeat you. I pray your fire will rekindle to burn it down.

Been there, keep slamming into that.
