[Mandor]: In your opinion, what should happen to Maemo.org after the merge ?

[VDVsx]: Do you agree with the Extras QA process ? In your opinion, we should lower, raise or maintain the current entry barrier for extras ?

[GaryHT627]: As a new comer here I have sensed a culture clash. It seems the history of Maemo was largely a hangout for those well skilled in Linux and there was an assumption of what was understood and more importantly how the “community” worked. Now with the N900 there is the introduction of those, like me, who are not experts at Linux and do not have a long history of working in the “community” environment. Things like voting for what bugs to fix first, are totally foreign concepts. And yes, there will be some questions that make your eyes roll to the back of your head because many of us lack the skills you have. As this will likely get worse over time as more devices are introduced and the customer base grows, what would you change to facilitate a smoother and more productive co-existence?

I will be sending these additional questions to the candidates for inclusion in the Q&A. I will alert you all when the Q&A goes up on my blog.

Thank you again for your time, and I hope you understand the limitations that I am working under!
Thank you for this effort I was a bit confused after reading your original post when I started seeing others answering questions in this thread. I also am not sure how the candidates are to receive these questions. I see questions posted and a reference to them having been sent to the candidates but I can't seem to find them in the community mailing list. I have been monitoring the Community council election debates/grillings and promotion thread that is maintained on this list and in fact I think I was the last to post to that thread on March 19.

I'm new to the list so I may have missed them.

If so, where and when can they be found by all the candidates? Being sensitive to the limitations that you are working under, when do you need to receive the candidates answers in order for them to to be published on your blog? How should they be delivered?

I am assuming this blog is the one in your signature where I recently read your interview with Peter Schneider, head of Maemo marketing at Nokia found >> HERE <<

Thanks again.
