Facts:
* Harmattan will be using deb packaging, rather than RPM (AFAWK)
* meego.com has explicitly ruled out being the place for
manufacturer-specific end-/power-user discussion.
Unknowns:
* Will Nokia be able to market the device as "MeeGo", as the
compliance exemption has yet to be granted.
Questions:
* Where will people be getting their software? Will COBS be
producing Harmattan debs and, if so, make them available
through the meego.com equivalent of maemo.org/downloads?
In my opinion, the whole thing's a mess. Developers asking questions
about Qt will be answered on meego-*; but asking about Qt Quick
Components might be rejected as it's "not part of MeeGo" (with MeeGo
UX Components being preferred); developers probably won't be welcome
to discuss the intricacies of deb packaging for Harmattan, but will be
uploading source tarballs for Debian packaging to COBS?
Cheers,
Andrew
