Well, I plan to become significantly more involved in the dev community when I finish my major home renovation projects over the next few months. Unfortunately every free moment I have is usually spent replacing floors and drywall, running new circuits and such things.
I didn't realize bt HID and fuse were already there... lol. Perhaps I should have checked that.
I just remembered some posts about BT keyboards not working and figured that was the issue. I'm kinda surprised Nokia included fuse out of the box.. good for them.

Supporting ipv6 (plus mobile ipv6 and ip6tables) would be good. Obviously this has significant extra-kernel implications.

All of them are already enabled in the kernel.
You are right, it has the implication is that IPv6 is loaded by default, as it does not seem to be possible to build independent modules for only IPv4 or IPv6.
It costs a few KBs more memory but so far I runs very stable on my device.

There is an offical Nokia kernel. I think maemo is fine and indicates the name of the community. I'll wait for other people's opinions before taking any action.

I don't think this makes sense. A few kb more or less per module don't justify selecting tens of separate tiny module packages.

to just install the "modules package" than specific modules.
Regarding the idea of Provides: kernel-module-*
It could make sense to call it kernel-feature-* because sometimes the
function could be built-in (for example, a specific file system for booting).
Another issue is that Provides cannot specific a particular version.
We would need to add the version to the feature name if makes a big difference.

I have installed the kernel, and loaded ext4 module.
I format a sdcard with ext4, but when I try to mount I get an error:
mount -t ext4 /dev/mmcblk1p1 /min
mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk1p1 on /min failed: Invalid argument
If I use the usbcable it mount ok
So it's looks like its something wrong with the ext4.ko module

backporting the latest ext4 to 2.6.28 should be quite difficult..
FUSE and Bluetooth HID are already enabled in the stock kernel.
PS: so far it didn't take too much time but I'd glad to share the work with some co-maintainers. I have a big machine idling which would be happy to build some kernels...
