I agree about the bugtracker. If the first devices that are in people's hands now are to be used as a beta testing ground before the "proper" launch later on this phase needs to be exploited to its fullest. I really see no downside to an open tracker. Maybe there's some weird conception about "broadcasting faults" in their products...
I also think any bugtracker should be administered by Jolla. If their heart isn't in it, there's no point.
I'm also a bit concerned about any community repositories. I've been trying to read up on that after being away a bit and saw the openrepos.net thread but... well, I'm just a bit worried by the lack of proactive action in this area by Jolla. What makes the N900 survive to this day is the community repositories and forums (apart from the device itself).

The question is: should the community spontaneously start one, or wait for them?
(we coiuld also probably ask them on twitter if they have anything against the idea?)
I personally didn't agree with them, but I could respect/see his point...

I think we should wait for Jolla to respond, but not too long. And if they'll decide not to make any bugtracker, then community should open one, to at least have one place to collect the bug reports.
The lack of bugtracker and a big chunk of closed components in Sailfish really raise some red flags. What about open development in the future? I hope Sailfish won't get Android like development with some code thrown over the fence once in a while. Jolla wanted to avoid Nokia's mistakes, not to repeat them.

At this point there is at least this: http://piratepad.net/JollaFAQ
Wasn´t this actually created by w00t? =)

Though, from what I've seen so far, seems that the jolla guys are simply not interested in any community behind sailfish. They should've done it in the neo900 way from the very beginning, maybe it is not too late to change now. I am not saying they should change the HW specifications because of a some post on TMO, but open communication with your primary target user group (no matter that they refuse to admit it, those with N900 and most of those with N9 that are active on TMO are that group) is a must IMO. At least while sailfish is still in a beta stage.

Sadly I suspect this is quite representative of most of their attitudes (there are some exceptions like w00t etc) towards maemo.org:

It's pretty sad that many MeR/Nemo/Sailfish devs don't even appreciate/understand the community/ethos that is maemo.org/HFB/HFC.
