What you fail to realize, is that any web site on the internet, needs to deserve being signed on to. The fact that you need to create a new account to report a bug into bugzilla, is ridiculous. Someone should be fined for the idea.

talk.maemo.org, or dare I say ITT, deserves mine and many other people's sign up. But if I come up with possibly good, productable improvement suggestions, the brainstorming division should come chasing me and not with account forms or other hoops, I might add.

And if someone wants to be involved, like we've seen here, it should really be on their premises and not force them into some other technology than the one they have chosen. Email lists are fine if you like it, as is usenet and IRC, but if someone hate these forms of communication and already is part of this community through this form of communication, they're not good enough? That would be eliteism. Stuffing people into a technical solution to run when it's really the brain of that person that is interesting, is really bad prioritizing. Shape the communication around the person, not the person around the communication form.

Nothing here is about adapting to the user. When it is infact, not Nokia, not the developers, not the community counsil, not even the community, that Maemo is all about.

Maemo is all about the end user. The 14-post not-yet-happy person that there exist 1000 of for every orangebox or volt, and a million of for every Texrat.

Unfortunately, this organization hates that person and does everything it can to filter it out.

At least, that is how it looks to me, and I already know better.
