That ^ there goes to the heart of the matter doesn't it? I'm thinking that when Maemo was first proposed within Nokia many in Nokia's uberclass didn't know what to think and that many of the "closed" components are not a result of specific design rather more along the lines of "Well, this is the way we always did it.". I also imagine that many of the original coders were borrowed from other in house closed projects and after a specific time or a tasks completion, went back to those projects. If this is the case then there pro'ly isn't a whole lot of policy continuity with regard to coded Maemo components and there may not even be accurate and easy to come by historical records available . What ever the case, this again is water that has already passed under our bridge. Right now energy might be better spent retrieving as much Maemo information that we can from Nokia and asking someone as persistent as Texrat to undertake this task for us. As it stands now, the only one I see that is paddling upstream in order to try and salvage some of this flotsam is qwerty12. I can only offer encouragement and help if his motives are what I think they are.
Huh. It's working from here.
