I didn't follow closely the effort, and AFAIK have no moderating rights so I can only nod in approval I would have been maybe a bit happier if we could have leveraged maemo.org infrastructure for this (to help avoid potential abuse and improve transparency), but hey - maybe next time. As for Nokia, sure, I even recall Quim offering something (if not, file this under my sleeping at 31C degrades long term memory category).

PS. Blog blog blog. Also, would probably be worth a good spot in the Maemo Weekly.
