The role of the senior contributors or the highly interested is very relevant: they can pick interesting ideas in i.e. ITT, develop and push them into our process.
I agree that not every ITT contributor will go through that process - it's apparent that not every ITT contributor is even willing to file bug reports let alone file a detailed roadmap request.

However this site (ITT) is your litmus for how well Nokia is progressing and highly indicative of where some of the big problems are (from a humble end users point of view). For example, Thoughtfix has already submitted a roadmap request for Bluetooth PAN support but it should be obvious from the pain expressed on this forum that Bluetooth PAN support is an absolute necessity and not merely a wishlist item.

While I agree that we (the users) should assist Maemo and Nokia by submitting concrete requests for new functionality, it should also be possible for Maemo/Nokia to moderate their strategy based on some of the feedback available in this forum.

Nokia employees have attempted to be active in this forum in the past (Texrat) but for some reason the powers that be don't seem to appreciate his involvement - I think that's a missed opportunity.
