I don't care. As long as the OS is free and open the domain shouldn't matter.

i know quim already opened another thread on the subject (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=44977), but i'd like to suggest:
maybe meego.com will be the more commercial site (like maemo.nokia.com) and maemo.org will be the community part behind meego? that way we could all stay here.. at home.

They had a problem with http://ubuntu.org
(Anecdote: the owners are related to Barcelona and they asked me whether it was worth contacting them.
At the time it was a big deal. Didn't seem to stop the project's success, though. Nowadays (and since a long time) nobody cares.
I've been bothered about the .com in meego.com about 5 minutes. That is the time I recommend you to spend on this.

MeeGo is a (truly terrible) neologism made by focusgroups and marketeers who apparently forgot to check the web-address situtation.
That's my five minutes spent on the matter.

I believe a shift to a .com site is actually for the better.
Maemo - and soon MeeGo - is not a community-developed, open sourced OS created to provide a free alternative to larger, commercial products and that intend to further enhance it with community developed applications.
Maemo - and soon MeeGo - is a corporate developed OS created to, initially sell Nokia tablets and phones, and soon a number of commerical products. The OS is enhanced by free (I don't know if the OVI store apps are free or not now and/or in the future) applications developed by a community.
I personally think that a .com would had been applicable for maemo and certainly will be for meego.
