* I have two N800's -one for me, the other for my family. Use them around the house, and for checking in when mobile via a tethered phone.
* I'm interested in bug fixes for existing functionality, especially basics like Modest fixes on Diablo. I mainly use email, browser, RSS, Maemo Mapper, Gpodder. Get rid of nagging problems with them, and I will use this hardware until it dies.
* I usually contribute by helping new users with questions. (Now that my hardware is dated, my utility in this function is low.) I can program, but due to other committments, can't invest the time.
* Longer term, if Mer is usable on an N800, and supports getting newer versions of apps like the above, I will use it. I suspect that I will likely be in the market for new hardware by then though - the N800 is fantastic, the best hardware design to me, but if someone has a newer machine with a similar screen size, similar tablet functionality but with an updated processor, I'd be investing in it. (Especially if it ran Meego or Mer.)

Even though I have an N900, I still use my N800 regularly. It's a solid piece of hardware that feels like it will still be usable for a number of years to come. We can't let the community around it die out.

* I have a N800 (and I love it!)

* I'm interested to see and use mer on my device

* I'm willing to contribute with programming and testing

* If this 3d driver thing would happen, I would then be able to use mer

* I'd like to have Mer running on them

* Programming and testing, some DSP/other driver work if needed, though am currently very short of time

I've still got my n810, but it's on its last legs. I used to have 3 at one time, but ended up not using the other two enough to warrant keeping them around, so I sold them. Now I wish I hadn't. But, even if it dies, I'll still hang around in support of the community, and maybe pick up another device in the near future.

* I have a N810 in daily use
* I'm interested to see and use regular updates, both security fixes and applications, and updates to the development toolkits
* I will continue to maintain some "exotic" packages like R, emacs, unison (see www.ws.chemie.tu-muenchen.de/hydrogeo/tools)

A post-mortem over some parts of Mer, but also relevant information about future of Mer for N8x0:

Makes sense. Thanks for being quick to provide this head-ups on the roadmap.

I've been wondering if we should also rethink Diablo in light of MeeGo. Particularly, with the availability of GTK+, is it feasible to dare dream of doing Hildon extensions and porting existing GTK+ Diablo apps to work on top of Meego? I defer to those with technical expertise (particularly those devs that wrote apps and were hesitating to try to do a harmattan revision) on the practicality of it, and I am just floating the idea.

I use my N810 every day. The current OS works for me. I would like to see continued development of apps. Some are great, many could use a bit of polish, and a few are missing entirely.

I wouldn't mind a better list app (like my old Palm's Handyshopper) and a robust task/todo app, ideally with cloud integration.
