Well, I'm pretty sure that I've announced that before already. > This is exactly the kind of thing we want to know, and the > frustration is that it takes a few emails which could/are perceived as > grumbling by Nokia to find it out. Well, the amount of people working on this project isn't exactly staggering. Each day we face the choice - spend a few hours on reading the maemo-developers list and answering to questions about our schedule, thereby delaying future releases furthere, or spend the same few hours working on the things that Nokia actually pays us to do. For some reason most people pick the latter option. To increase the likelihood of actually receiving answers to your questions on this list, try reading the list archive, don't ask questions that we've already said that we cannot answer, and try not to assume that we're doing everything out of malice. Because we're not. We're doing the best we can to produce a good product, both the thing we sell (the 770 with Internet Tablet Software Edition bla bla bla or whatever the name is) and the Maemo developer platform. But all of us only have so many hours per day, and the number of people actually hired to work just on Maemo is very low (I'm not, for instance). > If you perceive us as grumbling, that's going to erect a wall between > "them/us" which is never going to be good for getting a community. Communication is a two-way street. Try reading through some of your own posts lately (especially in light of my explanations in the aforementioned e-mail) and maybe you'll realise that you *are* grumbling quite a lot. Grumbling will probably get an answer from me eventually, but by that time I'll be quite pissed off.
