competition and concurrently diversity are nice, indeed, but they exhort what both tekki and myself have pointed out earlier;
fragmentation of the developer community.
is that such a good idea, right now?

i believe the whole point of timoph's post (with the three ongoing developments) was to show that the community has a certain focus.

but eventually it is a free world right?

I respectfully disagree. It can only serve to discourage people.

Actually more than one:
  • device prevalence among user/developers, used to determine how many users have each device, and how many developers are willing to work on particular device.
  • possible future developments, depending on above situation.
Bikeshedding can be fun, but at the end of the day you cannot direct volunteer efforts by popular vote. Actual progress only happens by people who work on what they find interesting/fun or scratches their itch. The role of maemo.org should be to support all such endeavours, within reason.

I own N810, and are naturally interested as both user and developer (provided that there are enough developers willing to work on it as well).
If there is a specific area you want to work on, go for it! Others may join or not, but if you scratch your itch and have some fun or learn something new in the process who cares?

When the discussion about a pool begin I didn't understand what you were even talking about. I thought what was meant was that there was going to be the formation of some kind of developer labor pool. Maybe some attention to what words mean and how they are spelled is useful.

Breaking news: main problems of maemo.org are mostly spelling related.

Ok, spelling is not my stronger side, let's focus on the real issues.

BTW: At 35 degrees Celsius, pool looks really tempting.

I'm for remembering that all data collections need to be qualified before use. The data points/records themselves aren't good or bad; but they cannot be applied to a useful collection if they don't exist

I'm completely behind every effort to get the work done.
Posting opinions on forums? Not so much.

If we want to keep Maemo/Hildon UI live, we should find a way to enable it to run on other open devices, or devices that are not locked. Since Nokia has stated that they would not release new Maemo/Meego device, we should try to find a new hardware.

This device may be a good choice:
http://en.miui.com/
it's based on CyanogenMod's work.
http://www.cyanogenmod.com/

Maybe we could rebuild the Maemo user experience on Android/Meego OS Core, which may enable it for further development?

@Koh

WRONG!!

We need to add the MIUI interface to Maemo/MeeGo core... then we'd see adoption. Not the other way around.

My proposal:
1-Go back to the drawing board and create a full user experience.
2-Use aesthetics and elements from iOS, Android, MIUI, WebOS, QNX, Moblin etc.
3-Finalize the MeeGo core (support most features).
4-Tie in this new user experience to the finalized core.
5-Polish the SDK/Qt libraries.
6-Slap this on available hardware (or manufacture your own).
7-Smoke a cigar, enjoy life, forget about money.

edit: I can do 1,2,6,7 need help for the rest
