I like it. It's not clear what it will become, but it could be a good way for Maemo to start becoming less owned by Nokia alone, thus giving it more life. I think Nokia want to have way to do this. I recommend being quite informal to start with, only adding rules and bureaucracy where it's genuinely useful. > What should the remit be? At the very least it can be a group of people who's job it is to clearly and briefly express the community's needs and concerns. Where consensus exists, it should express it. The mailing list is too busy for most people to see that otherwise. Like the GNOME Board, it may later wish to delegate some tasks to specialized groups, such as administrators for mailing lists, web servers, source code repositories, etc. > I agree with the poster who said that monthly or quarterly election > would be too frequent.
