You can't have a referendum without a proposal. Are you suggesting that we put to a vote that maemo.org gets turned off and everyone's account moved to meego.com? I somehow doubt it.

The point about the uncertainty is that it's being hinted (or even explicitly said by Quim) that most people will be running something MeeGoey. That may mean that a large majority of the core of this community may start spending more time at meego.com. A referendum couldn't stop that ("we want meego.com to reject members who have maemo.org accounts" ;-)).

If that gets so prevalent that no-one's using maemo.org, it'll die a natural death. If lots of people are still using it and there's still a vibrant Maemo community, it'll live.

It has already been explicitly ruled out that maemo.org would move wholesale to meego.com. For example, during the creation of forum.meego.com it was discussed whether or not it was a different front-end to (parts of) talk.maemo.org.
