I'll be blunt. If Nokia pulls the plug without notice, we're dead. Unless, as stated above, you are interested in just a forum, which can indeed continue on a donations basis. The rest of maemo.org is, however, way too big/expensive to bear without major backing.
So what is needed? A forum, wiki, servers for the repository and a place to report bugs and development. You are probably right when you say that we in current state would not afford TMO. But couldn't we find a better working solution by downsizing and thus also cut the costs?

It could also be made so it would be easier to participate. It is not that i do not like TMO. It is great! But sometimes it can be a bit advanced for a casual user to get around.
