Hi all,

I have noticed that there are a number of small things (and bigger things) that users on this board want to have fixed, but Nokia won't do it.

The specific example which brought this to my attention is https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8343, which might be as little code change as changing the verification to allow some extra characters if it's a skype (or it could be more).

So what I am thinking is that when Nokia say they won't fix something, there is a process to request a quote for adding that functionality. Then if the requester, or a group of interested parties wish to bear the cost of development, they pay for it. Unless there are political reasons for choosing not to fix something, I don't see why this wouldn't be acceptable, especially if some Nokia employee(s) decides to do it as a side project/money earner, with permission of the bosses of course .

Obviously for some things, the cost is going to be ridiculous, but some it seems it should be reasonable...

Thoughts?
