Well, you referred to "a discussion and eventual summary", which implies to me, talking about something, reaching a conclusion, summarising the position, and then stopping. Anyone and everyone is free to summarise the current position on the wiki if they think it would help, but that doesn't in and of itself stop people expressing their fears on the forum, and it does still seem to me that that is the underlying purpose of the proposal - if it isn't, what really changes?

Your point about a fact-based approach depending on facts, however, is well-taken. There is certainly a void worth filling.
Fundamentally I think that that is the only approach that will work, and it will work easily. There will be less expression of fear, uncertainty and doubt when there actually is less fear, uncertainty and doubt, and that requires facts, and that requires Nokia to provide them. Nothing else will help solve the problem that (if I'm understanding him correctly) Quim is trying to solve.
