That's a great point Ima which often gets overlooked in analysis. If nothing else, Mer was a small but powerful demonstration of what the community *can* do vis-a-vis MeeGo. It means no excuses allowed for closed framework development.

Let's focus on the successes and lessons, and move forward. I trust that Stskeeps has learned from them and factored that into his approach going forward.
