You have the Nokia Meego Devices team which really has little to do with the n900 at all and is primarily working on the next nokia meego device(s)
Close, same group/team also handles Fremantle releases.

then you have the meego n900 hardware adaptation team which is trying to make meego as it is restructured, etc, from maemo work on the n900
Yes, we take the portable MeeGo system, add components, firmware, scripts and configurations to make it work. What's added is the hardware adaptation.

and then you have stskeeps here trying to lead a community effort to get the entire nokia meego software stack(aka Harmattan) running on the n900 through creative image building and bundling of the nokia harmattan stuff with the open meego n900 hardware adaptation
Harmattan's the continuation of Fremantle as such (at least it's Debian based last I heard). I guess best way to think of it is the MeeGo APIs running on top of a more evolved Fremantle system (by that, think operating system, not UI).

But yes, the idea is then having taking this, putting in the meego n900 hardware adaptation + some various patches and stuff and hopefully, having a working image.

It isn't far fetched, really.
