It should be compiled before the election. A major perceived problem is that 
the council finds it hard to achieve momentum as by the time the council has 
decided anything, the council's term is half over.

Hi Rob, 

I have never left! Have to say that for personal reasons haven't been as 
involved as before but I am still here! 

Maemo.org is a very special place for me! 

BTW, I understand your frustration of depending on "someone else" for 
everything and anything! 

I know that Quim have A LOT MORE on his plate but have to say that having him 
back as Nokia's point of contact immediately gave me hope! 

Not sure if it makes any sense to try this now or if it is better to wait after 
the election but hopefully we can start to gather all "the community 
issues/desires/hopes and dreams" into a document so we can discuss have a 
public discussion with Quim and hopefully decide on some action items. I 
believe we need a community proposal. I also believe we MUST have an election 
this time and would love to see more candidates so we can have one and still 
abide to the rules. 

Having people disagree is great - it shows we care! Maybe we can build up on 
this! 

Felipe

I agree with Quim here. There is no way to successfully replicate all 
the hard work done on Maemo.org. Bring other projects in and make it 
bigger. 



It is a little naive of me but as long as we have lots of users with interest 
on the maemo.org , Nokia will also. 


Just the fact that so many new harmattan users found maemo to be their home 
tells about how good this community is. 
I am actually more concerned with the future of meego.com than maemo.org 

The one part of maemo.org that (especially as a developer) frustrates me is the 
extras "promotion" - I don't think giving super power to a couple users is the 
answer (it may be a band-aid for now). It is a larger problem and has been for 
a quite a while. I think the decision of installing something that is "devel" 
quality, "testing" quality or "extras" quality should be left to the user on an 
application basis (maybe something like a "stability indicator" next to the 
"user rating" is all that is needed. We should try again to work with whatever 
is left of meego (appsformeego, obs, ...) 

I don't think we need garage either (there are so many other places that can be 
used, like the projects @ nokia.com ). 

Ultimately, I think the goal should to aggregate and not disperse. 

Just wanted to add my 2ct - I don't think maemo.org is dead!

Hi Felipe, 

It is nice to see so many people returning back to maemo and taking an interest 
in making it better.
