Milhouse, note that your 3 examples belong to different categories: http://www.tivocommunity.com/ is an independent site while Slim Devices and Infrant forums are official. About the TiVo example, is that participation about user support or something else like unveiling future enhancements and discussing roadmapping stuff?

I still think the right place to have Nokia speakers talking about new stuff must be in Nokia/maemo spaces. If we come to ITT first then maemo followers will complain, and we can't perform well in both spaces (and if we do a third might come and ask to be "supported" as well).

We are going to open a web/forum interface to the maemo mailing lists, so everybody is happy. For instance, this is something that we haven't commented in maemo yet.
