Sorry for the second post, but I feel I need to clarify a bit: I am afraid to contribute to MeeGo at the stage it is at now, because it is still all policy and planning. There's nothing really yet to file bugreports on, nobody in the giant corporations making the policy and doing the planning really cares about my opinions, and the actual coding that's going on isn't really open yet...

I have a good recent example. A few weeks ago, I got an e-mail from a Nokia employee who asked me some questions about my Easy Chroot scripts because they might incorporate some of the code into the MeeGo chroot installation.

He asked me some questions, and I helped him as much as I could, and then I suggested that we continue discussing this on a mailing list or forum or somewhere else public. His answer was very non-committal and I've heard nothing since.

Honestly, how do community members contribute to a project such as this, with paid developers working madly behind the scenes, with very little incentive to discuss things publicly, and the whole system still in flux?
