Where is the point in that? it had to come to a sticky end eventually and i am suprised nobody thought of this when they started Maemo.org in the first place.

Maybe many promises were broken from the Nokia stable !.

This WP could well spell the end of interest from the developers point of view in that there is nothing left to develop Maemo or Meego for so where we go now???.

I say it goes wide and digs back into its founding principle and goes back to being a FORM FACTOR related site and go back to the InternetTabletTalk.com name and cover a DIVERSITY of brands, closed-source as WELL as open-source and stop *****-footing around like it has been doing ever since it changed its name to the doomed Maemo.org trademarked brand name which Nokia has, I'm sure most people can agree, pissed all over.

I'm not sure I'd still call Maemo closed-source, though. It was open-source BASED... but ultimately, the proper term would be 'open-core software'. Which is, in some ways, worse than closed-source because it's really a trap disguised as openness. Check out that link--there's even a little diddly in there about how community is used and abused by it. Go on. You know you want to.

The absurd thing is that OP should see that there is not even _one_ supporter to his idea after all this talk and that he still doesn't understand how everyone else here thinks, yet he still thinks he's the only one that is correct.

Reminds me of a certain community...

Well as crazy as this thread might seem so was the idea of bringing together Maemo.org as it totally relied upon Nokia for its formula to write open based software on a closed OS in partial.

As much as this thread also seems a crazy idea to ysss... the discussion had to be here because of the fact of Nokia's direction now so as crazy as it seems i am not that crazy .

I am not here to understand and i do not need "supoort" from this disussion either, merely talk is enough so when you all get down to basics and stop the waffle, something might come out in a sensible manner !.

I agree with your comments especially the higlighted one !.

Some facts to consider....

If meamo is to even have a new start it has to be for a device that exsists and is supported.

WP could very well need input from this community if it is to be applied to any other device than the intended ones.

Meego has nothing to be written for either because the N9 is the last of the last so not worth the while to involve a whole community for more than a days efforts .

The future is being drawn out as we speak and it does NOT include Maemo or Meego so why waste time devoting to them if it has no goals.

Yes you can call me crazy but better to make something good out of a situation instead of bad, gets you nowhere at the end of the day.

THE FUTURE = WP from Nokia.

Seriously,

I think the only thing that we, as a community, need to do is to ignore bullshat threads like this coming from a gobshite OP.

Absolute Troll. IMO.

This community should not be the means and media for abill_uk's constant attention whoring.

Perma-ban already.

I believe you've achieved your intended "get no understanding" and "get no support" objective.

so when you all get down to basics and stop the waffle, something might come out in a sensible manner !.
You're not here to understand or learn from other people ...and you're not looking to change people's mind to understand/support you, despite of the number of posts you've generated.

I think that's the best definition of trolling I've read thus far.
