Maybe part of the problem for Nokia´s Maemo/Meego people is that developing and changing is too fun and there´s no adult around to tell them that they really must settle on a solution and stick to it.

Although I have never worked in software development, then it can not work much different from other product development. There comes a time when you must lock in the basic specs of what you are producing and only refine details, not change the core.

It´s about time that the Maemo/Meego people start sticking with the framework they have, whatever it is, and resort to refining instead of revolutionizing.

We can see it´s not going to happen with Meego 1, so maybe with Meego 2 and beyond this change-revolution can slow down a bit so that independent developers and end users can be attracted, or maybe it´ll be too late.

There´s a lot of burnt fingers after 4 generations of jumping around, I imagine there will be a lot more after the next generation comes out and the game continues.

It is a little ridiculous how Quim comes in and tells people that they should believe in all the great benefits the new device will bring, if we just leave the current customers behind, when at the same time there are hints that the next device after the one they are releasing in 6 months is going to be a repeat of this currently ongoing saga. (All applications for the Meego 2 device will need to be repackaged in rpm instead of the Maemo 1-5 and Meego1 deb)
