I didn't say secret or hidden just not as easily accessible as this forum...

BTW, this forum is the place I thought of as the face or "front door" to maemo.org... at least that's what I understood the purpose of its acquisition to have been.

But then again, I was never a part of the conversations that took place then either.

My concerns then are the same as they as they are now. Why is it so hard to find archives posted on this forum of these conversations for those whose schedules do not permit participation or for others who chose to "hang out" here instead.
I realize that there is spontaneity involved and for all I know you all could be naked, sauna participants. It doesn't hurt my feelings any.
Forum posts are spontaneous too, but anyone can log on even months later to read what was posted to get a better understanding of the points that may have been made.

(heavy sigh) ...and just like back then we will pro'ly spin our wheels arguing about the above and miss the whole point entirely... openness
or, miss direct questions by some who could not attend like:


Will Nokia continue to use user groups like ours as cheap customer support or will customer support and product usability professionals be involved in this project from the start?
