You basically plan to continue porting Mer to the N900 or even to repeat the failed Deblet experiment? you mean the project you have in mind?
I disagree.
Start with a pure Debian system and add all the packages needed. It's similar to Mer in concept, but based on Debian and MeeGo; instead of Ubuntu and Maemo.

Then your project is very different from my idea. Although your project idea could use the parts created by the project I have planned.

Not for my plans. A wiki is at wiki.debian.org, and bugs are tracked per-package on bugs.debian.org.
