And what is the product from this well spent time?

Couldn't more energy be put into maemo.org now!

What has this most "important council term" done so far in order to overcome some of this...

I am in no way saying that nothing has been done. I'm asking where are the posts communicating this?

Now I'm going to be blunt. Some of the posts lammenting Nokia's apparent abandonment of this community are from people who, other than posting in this thread, have pretty much already abandoned this community.

Ironical ain't it?

I am hoping that Jaffa's dedication of the most recent news letter >> http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=56149 to this subject is a wake up call for some. But, without a direction defined, or specific task requirements outlined, a lot of energy will be spent in threads like this and nothing else. If the justification is that qgil was forced to respond to this noise then perhaps we are not doing a very good job as a community communicating to and from him, and Nokia by extention.

Popeye: How come carrots is a dollar?
Geezil: $1.50. You buy what I don't feel like selling will cost you $2.00.
Popeye: [Takes the carrots and tosses Geezil a nickel]
Geezil: Ah ah. Nope, this is a nickel.
Popeye: I'm payin' what I feels like payin'.
