Then I would strongly encourage you to read through some of the posts on this forum - even this thread. If it's a perception issue that Nokia is increasingly poor at communicating (this is apparently also a perception held by some Council members) then that becomes a valid issue and one I'd love to hear your thoughts on - regardless if you happen to believe that there is no actual issue.

It is honestly rather troubling if you really are so removed and disconnected from what the community at large has been expressing about your company's lack of communication.

That you choose to make a post about how you value the benefits in communication with the Council and then state that you don't see any issues here is, at least to me, rather telling of such a disconnect.

I simply do not agree with your statement of "stonewalling" (your way of putting it, not mine) and a change of responsiveness recently. The amount of engagement and resources involved in community dialogue has stayed the same and is growing. And, yes, we are not commenting every thread in this forum as this is neither pragmatic nor constructive as some requests are not exactly reasonable. Any feedback is appreciated, but there is a bandwidth restriction on how much feedback we can actually process. Therefore, it is essential to have the council that removes the element of individual feedback that might get lost in the overall noise. The council creates a consolidated view bringing forward issues that are crucial to the large majority of the community. Those are the first ones we address internally. Recent examples are Python and MyNokia subscription. And even if the community wants something does not mean always that we can change things but we consider the community as one stakeholder in the evolution of MeeGo and our MeeGo-based products. And the least, we can do, is give feedback on these consolidated views. If we haven't done so recently and the council feels that we are not listening, then I'm more than happy to work on getting back on track. Jaffa, texrat? Shoot.
