Harmattan project is continuing but going to include software that makes it compatible with MeeGo.

MeeGo development continues as usual using n900 as reference platform (using a MeeGo UI - modded by Nokia).

???????
Maemo 6 codenamed Harmattan was independent development from Nokia.

Moblin was an independent development known as Moblin.

Nokia and intel said 'f*** us, we are both developing our own linux distros (Maemo and Moblin), why not develop just one base together and we can add multiple UXes on top'

Harmattan project is continuing because it was in a point of no return on it's way to a handset that'll be out somewhere in H2 2010. Some of the software needed in MeeGo to be MeeGo compliant will be from Harmattan, I think.

MeeGo is a project from Linux Foundation and N900 is the reference handset/ARM platform for that development.

This is how I see it, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
