While this did make me feel at fault for this not happening, there were reasons for it.

On a personal sidenote, I managed to finish the software side of a research project, finish a master's degree in computer science, get married and move to Poland in the same time. And doing Mer for free. On the organisational sidenote, we were too ambitious and that harmed things (see mer-project.blogspot.com, the redshirt post).

We learnt a lot from the Mer project that makes things easier now both on N8x0 and in MeeGo. If you're wondering how smoother it could have been if we had been less ambitious (with the knowledge we have now), I just had Image Viewer from Fremantle X86 (no recompile for special Debian things) running on top of Debian 5.0+Fremantle base system in a VirtualBox. Coming sooner or later to a N8x0 near you. See http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=101 for Mer^2 stuff.

A small teaser in that regard:

But let us not turn this thread into a discussion about that - I'll gladly take it in another thread.
