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


relink to the new forum. all accounts inclusive karma copied to the new forum. Alls posts copied to the new forum. the fact that most meego applications will run on maemo justifiy this steps. we are still one community!

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


I think the QA process is nearly perfect. With the time (when meego is really mature) there should be more quality requirements for example to the graphics.


3. [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?


Texrat started with the "maemo greeter"-project. I want to expand it. The idea is really great! Everyone can help everyone. New users can help other users with the knowledge they've already learned.
We have to make it really easy for newcomers to get active! Incentivate them to post useful posts, take part in bugzilla and communicate their wishes.
