I have no idea if it's open-source or closed-source or if it would take weeks or months or years to create and I certainly haven't contacted the game's developers, but can we get it for the N900? Plz? Thx. "


Wouldn't it be easier & better for someone to volunteer to work with Reggie? That way, you're leveraging a large base of users and a large history of discussions. If you start from scratch, how many people will make it over to the new forum? Some of the guys here own every tablet in the Maemo line, including the N900, so they might not WANT a new forum. In short, what if the new forum becomes a ghost town?
Well, I own the N900 and N810 and N800 and I'd like a new forum. I would still hang out here but also at the new place. Yes, it might turn out to be a ghost town -- better than the current Grand Central Station but almost nobody caring about tablets.

Nokia is paying the bills here. Where is the N810 in their strategy? Nowhere. What do all the assurances about Mer add up to? Not much. Should I install Mer now on my tablet?

I doubt it. I would sure be happy to hear that someone was running Mer and was happy.
