IF we want to redefine the functions of the Community Council to something broader than serving as a negotiating point between community and Nokia, we need to have more directed discussion about what exactly we want to do, which currently is happening in a haphazard manner.

I am assuming everyone (who wants to keep Maemo support going past the Nokia plug-pull) thinks we want to EVENTUALLY create a new repository mirror for the Extras(-testing/-devel) repositories. Because if I recall correctly the schedule for the end of Nokia funding was end of 2012 (if I recall correctly from another post - readers, please don't assume I'm right until someone else verifies). This doesn't need to be done now, but we need to be ready for it BEFORE the plug pull, and if this is ever to happen, we need to start planning for it now - i.e. we need to vote to give the Community Council power to appropriate donations and to perform server renting, site administration, etc, on behalf of the community. If we do this, we also need to consider a demand for transparency - if donations get handled by the Council, we'll need to expect that we know what money is going where and how. IF we do that, in turn we need to think of some financial structure to the 'community' and the Council, in that the money should ideally not be stored in some community member's bank account, etc. We can either iron the details out beforehand, or grant the logistic-determining powers to the council as part of the vote that's coming up whenever, BUT if we do the latter, the transparency aspect should still apply - I.E council should have the power to make the plans but the plan should be gone over with the community publicly before being put in action.

Dunno about gtk (maybe it's not even there) but qt on the n950 dev-kit is just stock desktop qt and looks VERY ugly. Rewriting in qml is the only possible way forward as I see it.

If so, and you still want to go to meego, by all means feel free. But you don't get to burn the house behind you, sorry.
