this is telling me that MeeGo is not the 4.5th or 5th of 5 step to complete N900

the N900 is part of the five step program, more exactly the fourth.
meego is the fifth step, providing a platform which is entirely usable by the so-called "average-user".

Hello Valtteri Halla, thank you for posting here to clarify a few things. I am sure you answered a lot of questions people had with your single post alone.

My take is that Harmattan/Maemo 6 was the step 5 of 5. However, Maemo 6 is now going to be MeeGo 1, which kind of implies that clock has been re-set and that what was Step 5 of 5 is now step 1 of something else.

harmattan is the renamed maemo 6, now the first instance of meego (with still minor differences, like using .deb instead of .rpm in later versions of meego) just the name changed, the system is the same. so harmattan IS step 5 of maemo, IS step one of meego.

It amazes me how many people blew right past the clarification from STskeeps and zehjotkah. Come on people, slow down and read before going ballistic.

But if venting/ranting about speculations of what will (not) happen in 2011 makes people feel better (or simply want to commiserate a perceived injustice), that's OK, too - not really productive, though.
"Nokia are a business and have chosen a path of using the OSS community phenomenon to reduce their overheads specifically after sales support and development. There are no big enhancement requests coming for the N900 so don't bother going on about it. You want it, you code it"
That is a message to people who bought the N900 that it's time for them to become developers because support for the N900 is going to disappear soon.
Do you agree with that message or not?
