I'm starting to think you people enjoy the FUD. Otherwise, you'd stop it in its tracks post haste.
Who is "you people"? Are they part of the "us" that's separate from the "community"?

That's the best way to settle with somebody slinging FUD is to show definitive proof otherwise. And closing this thread, he'll pop up more... a FUD hydra basically.
Unfortunately it is far more difficult to provide proof of a positive. All FUD slingers need do is produce a claim - any claim and the job of FUD is done.
To disprove it is difficult because in most cases a company does not provide a specific response to a FUD claim.

For example. All future Android releases after froyo will not provide the source tree to the public. Technically to dispute that FUD you would need a statement from Google saying it was untrue and that future releases would be opensource.

As I said much harder to disprove a negative.

I agree 100% that the argument against baseless claims is indeed difficult.

Then... where are the people that believe more is coming getting their information from?

This is such a pointless thread.

The community will contribute to and improve the N900 ecosystem organically, a day at a time. The only thing that can be done now is to ensure that there are tools and infrastructure.

abill, if you want to contribute to the discussion in a *meaningful* way, start making a list of specific areas where you find Maemo 5 and its ecosystem to be lacking. No vitriol, just specific technical details. That way, when someone comes along and wants to contribute (say, a GSoC student), there's a place to start. FLOSS development is not about rallying the troops like a middle manager, it's about leading by example.

Is your N900 laggy? is the UI transition laggy? If it is then I'll send you mine. I've customised my own transition and it's bloody quick it feels like it lol. But I wiped my N900 just to start from fresh and to clean out all the buggy apps.

Here's a link to what I've referenced in my post:

Here's another shocker:

If you want to ***** and moan to Nokia due to their sub-par support and execution of N900 (in the commercial sense), then I'm with you on that.

But, if you relegate Nokia's part of the bargain and put its full weight on the community, then that's where we part ways. "The community" (that is to say 'we'), are not directly responsible for N900's success or its long term sustainability as a product.

I still don't know who those people are, other than Nokia employees. Who aren't talking.
