What a shame that I can thank you only once. You deserve a thousand thanks for that quote alone!

I have not seen your code yet though so yours might be an exception to the rule..

Not merely self-documented but sufficiently explaining
both code and context.
Self-documenting code does not have the depth to explain
what the big picture is.
I just had the pleasure of rewriting a failed extension
(someone elses abandonware)
to PHPBB and my head still hurts from chasing dead ends.
The reasoning is:
source code with documentation somewhere else
too easily becomes source code without documentation.
I have seen far too many examples of perfectly good code
incorrectly described by external, dated, documentation.
Keeping documentation inline means it keeps
responsibility for update tied to the actual code.
Just my two bits

Wayyy off topic, but,
I insist the documentation be embedded in the source code.
Not merely self-documented but thoroughly explained.
Most programmers write **** code. Their comments, even more ****. And lack of documentation is a major issue and I'd rather have it done in a more thorough way.
Yes, this has become way off topic. Nokia being sold off in large pieces by Microsoft... second to code documentation. Noted.

It must be a few years since I posted on here, it's great to see a few still contributing.
Someone offered me an N900 in decent condition for about 50 euro, it got me wondering in what state the repositories are in, or who is running them now.
Anyway, back on topic. Did anyone really think anything other than what's happened was going to happen?
Nokia's failings had nothing to do with Microsoft.. it was a dying animal way before they got involved. They just didn't have the vision to pick the bones and hit back with something that people would have wanted.
I honestly think if someone could make a more refined version of the N900, bigger better screen, better battery (probably most important), a current camera and an idiot mode app market.. even the 2009 maemo os would still wipe the floor with most devices out there.
Nokia won't be making any new phones by the way, they will be licensing their name and patents.
Any company wishing to build an android device with the nokia brand, will have to meet a certain design requirement but that really could be anything.
How many of you still use an N900?

At the end of the day, if lots more people had bought the phone, we could well be all using 5th generation N900's right now and those who may have needed certain aspects dumbed down to begin with would have gotten used to using xterminal
