(in hardly more space it takes to tell ppl to go & RTFM (right?) one might as well share the info already gathered, no?)
i can't remember seeing a number being formulated for TMO and the rest obviously is out of our knowledge (business contract between NOKIA & some hosting site)
considering the MeeGo / Harmattan denomination of the N9's OS, no surprise there.
there is a sister site of TMO (Internet Tablet Talk - Forums) that simply redirects to TMO.
the same person who is hosting TMO also hosts Internet Tablet Talk and could thus take over the rest of the Maemo.org site if NOKIA was to shut it down (by stopping the founding), but, obviously, the cost for the additional parts would still have to be paid for (+ TMO as NOKIA would probably also stop paying the bills for TMO)
again, NOKIA wants to keep Maemo.org, most likely to support N9 customers, so it wouldn't cost them much more to go on supporting the N9's predecessors (770, N8x0 and N900) as well...
(that's just my two cents...)
despite the common critic that NOKIA is not supporting the OS200x line of products anymore, the simple fact to pay the bills for (T)MO & thus providing an infrastructure for the community is also providing support for the devices
Future of Maemo 5 Fremantle is sort of a doomsday thread where various solutions were discussed in case NOKIA pulls the plug on 31st of Dec...
Pali provides a script to download all the Maemo packages;
personally i recently discovered w3mir that seems to do the same job for extras, extras-testing & extras-dev and allows to filter the packages (by name, extensions or even directory)
still need Pali's script for the NOKIA repositories, though.

That rises two questions:
1. How much does this website currently cost?
- Talk Maemo Org (TMO) which is hosted by an independent person who receives money from NOKIA for the hosting
- the other menus above (Downloads, Community, Dev & News (?) which are hosted by a company with a direct contract with NOKIA

2. Assuming Nokia will not continue to support TMO, can the community just take over the existing infrastructure (forums, repos etc. ; maybe under a different name) without having to copy all the contents to another site (which would be very difficult anyway if done legally correct)?
I'd like to see a definitive answer (in written form signed by an official) by the end of summer. For now I'd settle for: "Let's see what I can do."
