Sure, I'm signed up over there since day one, and fully intend to do that.
But where's the forum ? :-)
Not all systems base around a forum: moblin has functioned perfectly well without one.
I happen to think that MeeGo needs one, and I'm pleased to see that Reggie is one of the people signed up for the community working party, as I think that bodes well for talk.meego.com or whatever.
Maybe we need to find a way t make that desire known fairly briskly.

But let's say you're right: in any case, it has functioned as a softare engineering project, with a mailing list, a bugzilla, an IRC and a technical wiki, not as a community in the Nokia/Maemo sense.
What I'm seeing of the Moblin heritage on meego.com is strongly reminiscent of the maemo.org side of things two years ago, before Internet Tablet Talk was integrated as TMO. The ongoing culture shock there is much the same, if you abstract the technical feuds.
So yes, if meego.com is neither maemo.org or moblin.org, but more than the sum of its parts, it needs an unruly forum like ours :-)

The uncertainty is brought about by the severe lack of answers.
Give people a bone. Want the rampant speculation to end, then end it with pure, simple, easy answers.
Not more whitepaper talk about what MeeGo brings to the table. We mostly know it means that it'll bring the potential future Nokia OS back into where it will not be as "isolated" as an OS as before in terms of updates, et al.
But seriously. No communication(s) about the future of the existing sales (pending, actualized or otherwise) and how it'll effect people in the future is what's leading to the speculation.
You'd have to be rather daft to think otherwise. Communicate clearly for once what's going to happen - not to this forum, not about some other random stuff that's been inserted into the conversations around here - but cold, hard facts tend to silence rumors and worry.
I know what I'm saying will prove to be unpopular - I really am passed that now. But what will the N900's future be? What about the fact the first MeeGo OS phone is by LG and not Nokia? What about the upgrade - just say YES or NO.
The continued silence breeds more speculation.

... well ok, not really, we're waiting to be moved to the new stadium and see how the new game will play out.
New ball games can be traumatic. But it's not like we're paying for season tickets. Let's all chill out.

Not sure I like the ball game analogies, though. I guess I know too much about ancient Mayan balls games to be comfortable.
Though round here the game appears to be more like cricket: 5 days of play and still no result...

Other ingredients, like mushrooms, herring, and bacon are being debated and are likely to come as side dishes. But, we are encouraged to keep a good appetite because it is going to be tasty.

If it turns out that it can run MeeGo, cool. But, if not, it won't bother me at all. I bought the N900 because I wanted to run Maemo. I like Maemo. But, I do wish some of its kinks could be smoothed out a bit. That is why I do agree that a statement regarding N900 support is needed and shouldn't be too hard to make at this time. Hopefully, that will happen soon.

Speculation is inevitable only if you don't answer.
They'd just have to commit to something other than silence. One answer would stop the negativity and the speculation.
