Stskeeps and some Jolla folks on the IRC gave some feedback and basically they can't answer most community questions. (I'm not sure if they are going to answer any really).
The question of community site for Mer derivatives was raised, and there was no consensus whether such thing is needed. What do you think? Should be there a community site (something similar to TMO but without trolling and with moderation in development forums) for developers and users who are related to Mer derived systems like Jolla, Nemo, Plasma Active, Cordia and etc.? Is there a point in one site (http://opentablets.org may be?). TMO will become history at some point, so a new place is needed. But we don't want to end up in situation which existed with jumping between Meego.com forums, TMO forums, Nokia developer forums and etc.
Basically Stskeeps said this should be a community initiative. I.e. if community won't make such effort - the mess will ensue and no one will care to make such unified resource.
I had originally envisioned OT to be more general OpenSource OS on mobile devices anyway. I would be happy to add sections and work with the community to provide what is necessary.

EDIT:
I guess I should mention that I am the one that put together and runs OpenTablets.org

Why not address each point they can't answer & explain briefly why they can't, & for the remainder they can given a more substantive response, what's the problem?
There's no rush for them to answer ANY of it yet, we understand it's still an evolving situation, perhaps they need more time before they can address it all properly.
But in that case they should at least communicate that....
*or via the council if they really thinks that's necessary, instead of just responding directly in the document.

Basically Stskeeps said this should be a community initiative. I.e. if community won't make such effort - the mess will ensue and no one will care to make such unified resource.
Stemming from this discussion, a dedicated thread's been started to determine a name for the NFP entity that's now being created.
Once that name's decided we can register a domain based on it, create a community site, & perhaps even sub-sites for all MeR derivatives & NIT.
At the moment most are going for Aeolos, see explanation, but maybe something relating to MeR is better
The more I think about it though.....
The more I think we should adopt a more descriptive name than these weird mythological names, & names derived from MeeGo (e.g. MeR).
One example = openphablet.org
It doesn't necessarily mean a portal for phablets, it's just a conjunction of phone & tablet, meaning a portal for open phones & tablets. Or perhaps OpenDevices.org?
Problem is, obvious names like that are almost always taken, so we're going to have to be more abstract, but not necessarily back to mythological names.
I'm not against mythological names per-say, but 1st I think we need to agree on whether we want everything lumped together (as asked below), then we can decide on a name.
BUT, do we really want all MeR derivatives & NIT on the one site, maybe some derivatives or NIT aren't happy with that, would it create too much distraction/noise?
Isn't it possible that some derivatives will become very different, even "under the hood", at which point it makes little sense for them to share the same community/resources?
Anyway, it's best to continue discussing all that here, this thread's about Jolla...

Or perhaps OpenDevices.org, or maybe something more abstract, but loosely relating to that?

Yeah, lot's of domains are taken. Something like mobilitylibre.org is available, but it's not as catching as opendevices.org

cross posting here.. I still want to see this used some how
TMO
Talk.MOS.Org
MOS = Maemo operating systems
Then the "old too much orange" jokes can still be valid?

Best-off keeping it in the other thread only rather than splitting the discussion.
This thread's only about Jolla....
