I think I've said this a few times, but I can set up a garage or gitorious project if someone is really interested in contributing.
To deliver apps on what platform? Mer? MeeGo? What's the point right now? I wish I could sound less gloomy and doomy but.. yanno.. Nokia.. abandoned.. Mer.. Meego. But in all seriousness, what do you mean?

Pardon me if I don't cry out, "I'll believe it when I see it." at this point. So much for the promise of an open hardware platform. We were GIVEN almost-open.. then Nokia told us we needed to learn to appreciate closed-source (you DO remember that, right?).. then they illustrated for us how GREAT closed-source mixed with open-source really was for us by denying us the ability to have fixes and updates that we could even provide for ourselves. And now they're back to the "open-source is great!' rally cry again.

I'm so tired of having been their customer with a supposed open-source product, now.
