Although I am 100% behind you with this, the problem with such list is that it quickly turn into a wishlist of "bring X to Maemo 5 / N900".

Edit :

I tried to make a rough list of what was discussed here and in other topics. I did that out of memory and trying to avoid a wishlist as much as possible.

Question 0 : Will any of the answers to those questions be backed officially by Nokia ?

Maemo’s future :

Question 1 : Is Maemo 5 still a viable platform. Does it worth my time to write applications for it ?
Question 2 : What is the roadmap for Maemo 5 ?
Question 3 : What is the point of developing an application without Qt ?
Question 4 : What will happen to Maemo 5 when MeeGo 1 is on the market ?
Question 5 : What is the plan for Ovi Store for Maemo 5 ?
Question 6 : Will Maemo 5 support Ovi Services (Ovi Suite) ?
Question 7 : Why there has been no PR1.1.1 in the United Kingdoms ?

N900’s future :

Question 8 : What are the plan toward a more open N900 ?
Question 9 : Will there be resources at Nokia dedicated to bringing MeeGo 1 on the N900 ?
Question 10 : Will Nokia repeat past behaviour (770 and N8X0) with the N900 ?

Community :

Question 11 : What will happen to Maemo.org once MeeGo 1 is on the market ?
Question 12 : Will there be a higher degree of engagement with the community council ?
Question 13 : Will there be more openness from Nokia toward the community ?
Question 14 : Are we, the N900 user, only beta testers to you ?

MeeGo :

Question 15 : What is the rationale behind dropping Debian package format/ architecture ?
Question 16 : Will the early design phase for MeeGo 1 include support for N900 ?
Question 17 : What is Nokia’s commitment to MeeGo ? 1 or 2 years, maybe more ?

Nokia relation with 3rd party

Question 18 : Will Maemo 5 be able to run Adobe Flash 10 hardware-accelerated ? (Remember that Nokia can talk to Adobe, N900 users can’t)
Question 19 : Can we get the drivers for the N900 ? (Remember that Nokia can talk to TI, N900 users can’t)

Wishlist :

Question 20 : Can we expect [top 5 request] on Maemo 5 / N900 ?
