As you'll know that a lot of discussion happened in the thread "Fremantle Community SSU" on maemo-developers (a better home for in-depth technical discussion about the vagaries of HAM), which you participated in. Many of your questions then were about policy - and, as stated above, this hasn't yet been discussed (let alone decided).

OTTOMH, some of the big policy questions to be decided are:

1. Who ultimately owns the CSSU?
   • Council?
2. How will included improvements be decided? (Matan)
   • Will there be an inclusive policy - every improvement that someone is willing to work on will be included - or will there be a gatekeeper that will decide what to include? (Matan)
   • Is the scope limited to improving packages which are included by Nokia in the OS; or should it grow to include "useful" stuff?
   • Should wholesale replacement of apps (such as Media Player) be done with open source, feature- & UI-compatible versions; if available?
3. How will testing be organised?
   • Positive
   • Negative
   • Regression
   • Installation from scratch
   • Upgrade from previous version
4. How will it be advertised?
5. How will it be supported?
   • Bugzilla
   • IRC?
   • Forum
