I'd imagine the developers in the community will probably follow a similar path to what I plan on doing:
* Continue to develop on and with Maemo 5 until something better comes along. Either vanilla "MeeGo + Handset UX" or (possibly) "Harmattan/MeeGo" (A.K.A. Maemo 6)
* Once a decent upgrade path is available for the aforementioned possible OS upgrades, I will continue to support Maemo5 with additional support for "Harmattan/Meego" (Maemo6) and vanilla MeeGo where possible.
It is my belief that judging from Nokia's track record we're unlikely to get a "Harmattan/MeeGo" (Maemo 6) community adaptation despite efforts being discussed toward this goal.
I also think that maybe the community driving vanilla MeeGo + UX for the N900 is the better option, because it is IMO our best bet for a
continued
and maintained codebase for the N900.
After all, we want our devices to have the longest life possible, right?
This is how I will support this community. Along with my work on helping other developers and users on IRC and here.
But, this is no different to how I and most people here have been working for the past 5 years or so. What more does the user segment of our community want?
