none of those (well, not many anyways ) will migrate to the Microsoft platform... so in my opinion Nokia is much more likely to cut their expenses even further by axing this site.

but i hope i'm wrong about this.
IF they kill this site (wish a doubt), would it be a big problem?

1. Will the community die? No
2. Will QT die? No
3. Will Maemo die, No atleast not until people leave stop using N800/N900
4. Will most of the threads about flash, going android no PR threads die YES :-D

After some days now of "thinking" I have come to some conclusions: This is Nokias mistake. The community will move forward. But it can move faster forward if we stop this "dark thinking" about future for the Maemo/Meego/QT and keep develop commercial or/and open apps for N900 and comming Meego tablets etc...

Remember the old CEO did say something about "FIGHT BACK" last year?

Well "Nokiaboard" gives (==paniced) up now, but NOT the engineers working on Qt/Meego inside Nokia(or outside) and the rest of the open freeworking community who still beleives in Qt/Meego.
